The kb article said that you can limit access to the admin interface which mean you will be able to limit access to Security schemes, permission schemes and other stuff if my thinking is correct.

But now that I think about it the other party is a system admin which means he will have root access to the configuration file.

I am afraid this will not help.

An admin can always change the security schemes, project membership and permissions.  That's their job.

Hi André,

I personally haven't tried this but I think what you can do is set issue security level on your issue. Then use this article to restrict your external SP so that they won't be able to access the Issue-security setting so they can't add themselves on the security level and see the issues.

Or you can take away their permission to browse project and issues and restrict their access to the JIRA admin interface so they can't put themselves back in.

Can you tell me how it goes after trying it?

Good luck.
