Permissions - view release and versions only

Question

I am using a Kanban board to manage my web development projects.  I would like to invite my client to view parts of the Jira project but with very limited access.  I have tried to follow the user permission tutorials but I'm finding it very complicated!

I would like to give my client access to view a list of versions plus the issues in those versions - both unreleased and released versions.

This would be useful so he can see clearly which issues I am working on for the next release of the software.

How can I achieve this please?

@Ollie Guanthank you.  I have been able to set up my permissions as I need by following your guidance and reading the documentation on this topic.

Hi @Chris Taylor,

The role is a system global parameter and needs to be configured by the system administrator.

Thank you.  You might need to wind back a few steps for the newbie please.

If I go to my project > Project settings > People > Add people I can add my client by typing his email address I guess.

Then I'm asked to choose a role but the only role available is 'Administrators' which I don't want to pick obviously.

So firstly, how can I create a role to add this new user to?
