Checking individual users permissions in JIRA

Question

I want to check exactly what permissions a particular user has access to in JIRA.

I.E. I can see in Site Administration > Users > that "Jane Doe" has one group membership called "Application - Limited Access". However, I can not find a way to easily figure out where this single user and/or group may have been added to a project's permissions. Without checking each of our 100's projects.

Is there an easy way to check this? Somewhere in the JIRA admin UI?

So there is no easy way to do this. Understood.

Perhaps a development area for JIRA to look at.

@Jessica MunroIt  doesn't  matter whether user is  giving  permission  as a  single user  or by  groups,  what  you  should be  looking  at  in the first image you attached is  "project column"  this windows   shows  you  all  project  list in which  user have access to, and these permission  are displayed as a single user permission,  if you  want to  view permission base on groups in all projects ,  you  will  have to go  to  project one by one,  or   write  java  script, or  find  plug-ins  on the atlassian market that  does  this  i  doubt there is,  or  you  can  take result from  data base  since you  use cloud,  i  doubt  you  have access to  data base.

Best!

Hi Moses

Thank you for this information. I did not know that option was there.

However, this does not seem to tell me which projects the user has access to and which permissions for each project they have.

It only shows admin, dev, user etc.

For example, I know this user has a group called "ICNet - Limited Access" which in the project ICNET - SSIIP has the permission of Browse Project's. But to find this out I had to go to the project > permissions and check for the group manually.

How do I know what other projects this group or even the single user has access to and which permissions for that project?

I hope this clarification makes sense.

Cheers
