Allow anonymous view access to boards

Question

How can I grant anonymous (public) access to boards?

* I am talking about Scrum or Kanban boards.
* Yes, I've enabled "Allow users to share dashboards and filters with the public" under "System Settings".
* Yes, I've granted Browse Project permission to Public in my project's Permission Scheme.
* Yes, I've granted "Share dashboards and filters" and "Browse users and groups" permissions to Public in Global Permissions.
* Yes, I've shared the board filter with Public.

Now, anonymous users (with no login) can see the project, the issues in the project, and the filter, but they can't see the board.

How can I let them see the board?

Hello,

Welcome to Community :)

Presently it's not possible to allow anonymous access to boards and the FR exists as Shalini as shared

What you can do is

- give browse permisison to the project

- Create a filter of that project

- Give access to the filter

Anonymous access to shared filters or dashboards:

To find out who a filter or dashboard is shared with:

* Choose Settings ().

* Choose System, then select Shared filters or Shared dashboards.

* Review the Shared with column for both dashboards and filters.

If a filter or dashboard is shared with Public, the name of the filter or dashboard will be visible to anonymous users. They will be able to see work items (or data about work items) in the filter or dashboard if the project that the work item is in grants access to anonymous users (as described above).

Add or remove anonymous access to shared filters or dashboards

* Select More actions () and Change Filter Owner to yourself.

* Go to Filters or Dashboards in the sidebar, then select View all filters (or View all dashboards).

* Select More actions () and choose Edit.

* In the Shares section, add or remove "Public" as one of the sharing options.

This way, users should be able to see the issues of the project on the filter

Hello @Emre Toptancı _OBSS_ ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian community :)

Unfortunately, it is not possible to make a board public in Jira cloud. The reason behind this is that users require JIRA Software Application access permission in order to access JIRA Software functionalities.

We have a Feature Request in place for the same.

Thank you!

Hi @Emre Toptancı _OBSS_

My thoughts on this is that it wasn't intended for the anonymous users to see the board rather only the issues.
