Why do you grant project role: clients access to browse projects in order to restrict their access?

Thaney Cockrell

In all the forums I've read you have to do the following things to create client specific projects (and to let them see ONLY this project):

1. Create a client group

2. Create a project role for the client

3. Copy the default permission scheme to create a client scheme

4. 'Grant' the client project role the ability to 'Browse' 

5. Add client roles to the project

6. Use the client permission scheme to the project you want the client to see

 

This does not make sense and when I log in as the 'client' I am able to see all the projects and NOT the project I wanted to see... please help!

Ok, so you have the permission scheme.  It says - Browse Projects - Granted to Project Role - Users.

You have to then go to the project, edit it and look at the users and roles tab.  You'll see who the group "users" are.

In my case, Users, are Jira-Users, and everyone is in Jira-Users, so the project is visible.

If you want to change that, on the project security level, remove jira-users from users and click add users to a role.  Select the group or users you want to add to Users and done.
