Public project

[apoggi]

When I create a project by the default is public.

What does this mean?

That anyone in my organization can view and edit, or that any information is shared publicly on the internet outside the organization?

many thanks.

@apoggi - this support article explains public vs. private projects in Atlas: https://intercom.help/atlas-by-atlassian/en/articles/6403749-restrict-the-viewing-and-editing-of-projects

This article explains why keeping things public is helpful: https://intercom.help/atlas-by-atlassian/en/articles/7934532-how-to-combat-task-loneliness-in-software-engineering-teams-with-the-uber-stream

As I understand public means that the information are shared across teams inside the organization.

is that correct?

I'd like to be sure that the information are not shared in public internet outside the organization.

Many thanks.

Yes, @apoggi

The information is not shared outside the organization.

I am still confused about the difference between Public and Private projects. I have the following types of users identified in my Organization:

• Admins - who I expect to be able to see everything
• Managed Users - people whose email domain is one of my verified domains
• Non-Managed Users - people whose email is not in one of my verified domains
• Customers - who may not have an Atlassian account but are known to my JSM instance

I want Admins and Managed Users to see all Atlas projects. I want Non-Managed Users to see only specific projects. I want Customers to see no projects.

How do I set this up? If I default to Public for my projects, will Non-Managed Users be able to see these projects as well? If so, then it seems that I need every project to be Private so that I can lock down access to projects. 

Feedback?
