Public read only issues

geabenitez

Hello, is it possible to configure Jira server to allow all public read only the issues?

I am developing a web app, and all the issues are now being managed on JIRA, everytime I release a new version of the software I make public the changes, what I want to do now is copy the release notes from the release version on JIRA (the release notes includes links for the issues) and I want everyone be able to click on the link and read all the contents of the issue without having to login.

Thank you.

Yes. You can edit the permission scheme to allow the "Browse Project" permission to be set to "Anyone". This will open your issues so that even those not logged into JIRA can view them.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the answer,

But i am unable to find the Anyone on the options, I only see "Any logged user" under "Application access".

Is there any other place where I can find that one? or any additional step I need to perform.

My Jira Software Version is 7.6.1

I see the issue. You want to add a new group to your scheme. Instead of "application" switch to group "Anyone".

Thank you,

Sorry to keep asking, but how by creating a group named "Anyone" can I allow to the public to see my issues (read only)?

I am asking because I jsut created it and now it is asking me to add members, and I want everyone to be able to read without being a member.

I've a follow up question here -- once I enable "Browse Projects" on Group=Anyone. I get this warning. If anyone inadvertently clicks on Fix Permissions it reverses the Browse grant I made.. It's again another weirdly inconsistent behaviour with JIRA around permission config.

Right, I get the same. Any hint?

So Service desk you don't want to enable this permission for. Jira Service desk is not designed to be opened to everyone to see each others issues.

For Jira Service Desk, if you want customers to be able to sign themselves up, you need to set it up according to this link.

Hmmm... if something is not designed to work that way but has config enabling said option would point to an issue around clear design.

I would however disagree, it can be very helpful as a knowledge base for anonymous contributors to be able to browse prior issues without needing to sign up (don't think Stack Overflow would work quite so well if users needed to sign up to view).
