Do portals only work with Service Management?

[Shaun McGuire]

I have Jira Service Management Premium. I have service portals for a couple of service management project. 

Is it possible to have a portal that links to a Jira Software project (for direct issue injection into the backlog)?

[Nic Brough _Adaptavist_ · Accepted solution]

No, the portal is a part of a Service Managment project.  

Software is aimed more at developers than doing support work, so it doesn't have portals.

@Shaun McGuire  Process wise it makes more sense that a customer logs an incident when something is wrong in production and this could get escalated to a bug in a software project. 

You could automate it but imho it’s up to the devs to decide if something is truely a bug

Hi!

We use JIRA Automation rule with muli-project scope
