Allow reporter to see an issue but not the a project

Question

For Jira Cloud.

What: Allow reporter to view his/her own issue, even if the reporter cannot browse the project.

Why: We have a lot of projects, and we don't want the users to be able to see all those projects, otherwise it would look very busy.

What I tried:

1 - I've given the reporter the permission to "browse the project", it makes the project visible to all user, even if the user doesn't have an issue reported.

2 - I tried issue-level security, but it won't allow the reporter to see the issue if he/she can't browse the project. In fact issue-level security only narrows the group security.

I also would be OK giving the reporter "Browse the project" permission, if I can hide the project from the reporter, so he/she cold access the project and/or issue only if he/she has the link.

Thanks

Nope, to see the issue, you have to be able to see the project.

With an issue security scheme you can limit them to see only those issues they are the reporter on. You can't hide the project. If you did they couldn't enter any issues to be the reporter on.  See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/configuring-issue-level-security-861253265.html

It's what figured out so far.

I wonder if there is something else I can do to allow the user to see his/her own issue, but not the project.
