Hi there,
Can I create two users, one as Read-only to project and issue type and another as Read-write(how different is this from an admin user?) to project and issue type?
Thanks
Hi Helmi - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
I am not sure you can do that with the Free plan as permissions are very limited. You can certainly do it with the standard paid plan.
Hi John,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have been trying, with some success, with Permission Schemes which, as it appears to me, to be the only way to do this. I created one permission scheme for a Read-only user and tweaked the project permissions under this scheme. And I created another Scheme for Read-write user (but seems like admin user - can see R/O user issues!).
Another question is this: can I associate those two users with the same project? If so, how can I do that?Thanks
Well, the easiest way is to control the permissions by project role. So place the users in two different roles in the project - Project Settings > People
Then grant both roles permission to Browse Project in the permission scheme.
Then grant only the one who can write (updates and create issues) the Create Issues and Edit issues permissions.
I managed to do this through project roles as you outlined before. Thanks. However, when I created a project, it was associated with the 'Default Permission Scheme' which is OK. Then, I created a new Permission scheme with the project permissions as in your post above. Then I associated the newly created project with the new Permission scheme. Now, the default permission scheme is no longer associated with any projects. Then, I logged into my Jira instance as a read-only user but I could not see the issue assigned to this user and the same thing happened when I logged in as a read-write user. The only way to get around this was to create a second project, create new issues as before under this second project and associate the second project with the new permission scheme.
Is this the way it is expected to work or am I missing something?
