Hi π It's Emily again and today, we will together discover Jira permissions and how we can configure it π»
Managing Jira permissions as an admin is crucial for ensuring your team's productivity and data security. With Jira permissions, you control what users can see and do within projects, from creating issues to assigning tasks. You are new to Jira? No worries, let me take you through what Jira admin is in βEverything You Need to Know about Being a Jira Administrator.β
This article will explore the definition of Jira permissions and their types. It will include global, project-level, and issue security permissions. You'll learn how to set up Jira admin permissions and manage Jira permissions effectively. As a result, it will empower your team while safeguarding sensitive information.
Jira has a robust permission system that ensures the right users have appropriate access and capabilities within the platform. Letβs explore it in more detail:
Jira permissions are settings that determine what users can view and perform within the system. These permissions range widely across Jira applications, controlling aspects such as the ability to create new projects or view specific types of comments on issues. The permissions can vary from one application to another.
In Jira, permissions are classified into three types, ranging from high-level to granular:
Users with specific administrative roles manage Jira permissions. Here's a breakdown of who can set different types of permissions in Jira:
Global permissions, which apply across the entire Jira instance, can be set by:
2. Project Permissions
Project permissions, which control what users can do within specific projects, can be set by:
3. Issue Security Permissions
Issue security permissions, which determine who can view specific issues, can be set by:
These permissions ensure that only authorized users can manage access and control within Jira, maintaining the security and integrity of the project data.
Every project in Jira has a permission scheme associated with it. One permission scheme can be assigned to multiple projects, preventing the need to set up permissions individually for each project. Permission schemes are crucial for organizations where multiple projects have similar access rights requirements, such as allowing only the designated project team to work on issues.
A Jira permission scheme is a collection of permissions that can be applied to one or more projects. It defines the set of permissions (project, issue, workflow, etc.) and specifies which users or groups are granted each permission. Essentially, a permission scheme is a template that can be used to apply consistent permission settings across multiple projects.
When you set up a project in Jira, you assign a permission scheme to that project. The permissions defined in the scheme determine what users can do within that project. For example, a permission scheme might specify that only project administrators can manage sprints, while all team members can view and edit issues.
In other words:
When the "Development Team Scheme" is assigned to a project, it means that:

You can create issue security levels within issue security schemes to control who can see specific issues. When you link an issue security scheme to a project, its security levels can be applied to issues in that project. Subtasks automatically inherit the security level of their parent issue.
To configure issue security schemes in Jira:

An organization uses AssetIT, which is integrated with Jira, to better manage projects. Each Jira issue will include a device to ensure that everyone understands what they are responsible for. As a result, there's a need to restrict normal users to only viewing projects and issues without the ability to configure or modify them. This protects sensitive configurations and settings while keeping users informed about project progress.
This is how they set everything up:

2. In AssetIT
Managing permissions in Jira is a critical aspect of ensuring productivity and security for your organization. By understanding the different types of permissions and how to create and manage permission schemes, you can effectively control access and actions within your projects. Granting appropriate permissions to users, groups, and roles allows you to empower your team while safeguarding sensitive information.
Remember, successfully implementing Jira permissions is an ongoing process that requires regular review and adjustment as your team's needs evolve. Stay vigilant and proactive in managing permissions to maintain a secure and efficient Jira environment, fostering collaboration while protecting your organization's valuable data and workflows.
