How do I add a client to my Jira project without letting them view other projects?

Caleb Kingston
January 7, 2016

Okay guys, I know this sounds simple and straightforward but I've been looking for an answer for 2 weeks and am ready to give up on JIRA if I can't solve this. The simple question is:

How do I create a client user that will be allowed to view her project and even edit the backlog, etc without seeing any other projects?

 

Someone referred me to this documentation and I really tried diligently to follow the steps but I don't think I've gotten what I was after.

I went through the first pre steps but they seem vague. It says the article assumes that I:

  1. Created the users in JIRA. 
  2. Populated these users into client-specific groups (i.e. all users from 'Company A' are grouped into the 'Client A' group) 
  3. Granted these groups JIRA access by adding the groups to JIRA Users global permission
  4. Removed Internal Project access to client-specific users by removing them from the default JIRA Users global permission. (i.e. removing jira-users group)

So what if I didn't do steps 2-4? I've spent a half hour trying to figure out where in settings I do this but it just doesn't make sense to me just starting with Jira. I think I may have figured out 3 but this just seems all hairy for just trying to give a client access to one project. Any other articles you could recommend to help me through these basic steps? I've already searched in the documentation myself.

I even took a 2 hour lynda course (outdated and the interface wasn't the same) and couldn't solve this. Can someone please help me out with some simple steps? I barely installed JIRA cloud, I started a project, so my settings shouldn't be too much different from other how to's shown. Is there a reason this seems so difficult to me?

yes you are correct, when i select ondemand on plugin home page it is showing message as follows

"Note that the OnDemand version of this add-on is separate from the download version. Version details and screenshots have changed to match your selection."

Similar issue here. Tried to import jira (from a hosted jira - plugin version 1.20) getting the version error. Latest available Version for download is 1.19.1.

When gets the 1.20 version for the charting plugin available for download instances?

So let me elaborate.

The following links to a screenshot of our on-demand Jira instance plugin list as you see the charts plugin is somehow in version 1.19.

See the error we get when importing here

recheck about the version 1.19 or it is 1.9(JIRA 5.1 compatibility) because the latest version it self is 1.16(JIRA 6.0 - 6.0.7)

check the version matrix here
