Project Permissions Question

[Shawn Wallace]

Is it possible to grant access to a project solely based on a component? If i wanted a user to be able to see tickets for the ABC project that only applied to a Marketing component. Is that possible?

If you only need to prompt for one value...   You could make the Saved Filter find a particular instance, and then the user selects that filter, then updates that last entry, ala

project = BUG AND issuetype = Bug AND "External issue ID" ~ 123

Save that filter as name FindBugz123

While its not perfect, its simpler than writing a plugin, which you'd have to do separately for each search you want to dream up.    I guess  you could use the same technique for multiple items, but it gets grundgier.   If they only edit the last item its triivial

There is no function to do this within Jira. The interface already presents a flexible way for the users to modify and work with filters, so it's generally not needed.

Justin's suggestion is the best way to do it, although you could also wrap the idea in a simple plugin and add it as an entry field somewhere (similar to the simple search at the top right). I do think you'll find your users use it once, save the resulting filter and work with that from then on though.

You could build a web form that inserts the fields into a JQL URL:

http://jira.company.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+key+and+issuetype+%3D+%22Bug%22+and+resolution+%3D+unresolved+and+component+%3D+<insert_form_filed_value>
