Limit Who Can View a Jira Project

Question

How can I limit which users can see a project by project within Jira?

So if user A logs in I only want them to see Project 1.

If user B logs in I only want them to see Project 2.

If user C logs in I want them to see Project 1 and Project 2.

I've been sifting through the various security mechanisms but not seeing a clear method for accomplishing this task.

Hi Jason,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You do it by setting up a new project permission scheme that limits who can browse a project etc, see Project permissions.

Hi @Jira Admin,

I think the best way will be to achieve this with a combination of an permission scheme and project roles.

First define an permission scheme, where you grant the different permissions to specific roles. Please have a look at the link Mikael provided for this.

Then you go to the People-Page in your project settings and assign the different roles to your users.

If you do it this way, you do not need a own permission scheme for each project, instead you can reuse one scheme for many projects (except the roles should have different permissions in different projects).
