Project level access in JIRA

Stanly Thomas

I'm a newbie to the JIRA administration. I have few questions related to project access level.

Our company wants to set up JIRA users to an individual project level access rather than having access to all projects. What is the easiest way to do this setup? 

Is there a way users inside a project can view only to the issues they've raised.

Hi Stanly,

you should create a permission scheme and grant the different project permissions to project roles.

E.g. grant "Browse projects" to project role "Developers".

Then, add your users to the project roles within the projects, they are allowed to see (Users and Roles in the project administration).

After that, assign the new permission scheme to your projects. As a result, only users added to the project role "Developers" have the permission to watch the project.

You can also set the "Browse project " permission to "Reporter" - by that, the issue should be invisible to any other user except the reporter. But I wouldn't do anything like that. This may result in issues that are assigned to a user who is not able to see the issue, gets no notification etc.
