How Can I Remove access to the JIRA Administrator Cog

Linck Schlich

So, I have created a test user that is a member of the JIRA software user group and to one project. That is all. They can still see the cog, use the drop down, click on projects and see a list of all the projects.

I just want them to have access to the one project to which they have permissions, and they do only see that one project when they click on "projects" next to dashboards... it is just that they can click on that cog! They are NOT part of the Jira Administors group.

Hello Linck,

Disable these permissions, administer projects, browse projects.

Check if he's a part of some group which has these permissions.

Do you use one permission scheme for all of your projects? If you are I suggest you copy it and customize it for this particular project, also read these

Jira permissions are tricky but with "little" practice it starts to make sense, practice makes perfect.

That is just it... the user is part of no projects, and is part of a group who who's only purpose was to literally give access to the software under applications... is there some universal setting for all users being able to see all projects?

I should note that this group is given no permissions in global permissions as well

I stared from scratch and I:

Created a a user, "Test User" and associated with ONE Group, "Test Group".

The ONLY thing I have done with the Group "Test Group" is to allow members of that group to access the software via application access.

Then, I went to the permission scheme of a project, added Test User to the role of CLIENT.

Then, I added the role of CLIENT to comment on issues. That is all.

When I logged in as Test User, I did not see the project's dropdown on the blue bar, so I could not access the project. However, I COULD use the administrator cog, and click on "projects" there. and see a list of all projects.

When I went back in as an admin, I added CLIENT to be able to browse projects.

This allowed the Test User to use find the correct project on the blue bar as I want them to do. And, of course, they could STILL use the cog to see all projects.

So...

1) What specific access gives one the ability to see "projects" when clicking on the administration cog?

2) Within a specific project, does the permission of "browse projects" give the permission to see all projects? If so, what specific permission allows one to only see one project?

Thank you in advance for your help.
