How do you make a Jira project visible to anyone without logging in?

[David Yeager]

I want all issues visible to the world without having to log in. Is there a setting for this? Thx.

This should be possible. Check out this documentation from Atlassian:

Thanks for your response. I just checked under Project Name->settings->permissions->'browse projects'->'grant permissions' and the only available options for "granted to" are:

Project Role

Application access

Group

Service Desk Customer - Portal Access

Reporter

Current assignee

Single user

Project lead

Group

custom field value

Any other suggestions?

You've missed the line in the doc that says "group".  "Anyone" is an option in the list of groups.

[David Yeager]

Beauty! Yes once I select "Group" there is an option "Anyone". Thanks for the help guys!

No problem! You can mark a question as answered by hitting the checkmark to the left of the submitted answer. This helps other users in the future who might have a similar question.

hi there,

I just did add the anyone group, but still it asks to login when I open the backlog page https://kovalevsky.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=4&projectKey=FILL&view=planning.nodetail&selectedIssue=FILL-7&versions=visible&issueLimit=100. 

Is there any specific link I should share for such anonymous access?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You can't enable anonymous access to boards - boards can only be used by software users (which means they have to log in so that Jira can tell that they're allowed to use it)

[Roman Kovalevsky]

hm, isn't this parent question literally ask the same? seems like there was an accepted answer, which made me think that it is possible

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Projects and boards are different things.  The accepted answer is about projects, as the question was about project access.

[Roman Kovalevsky]

so you are saying there's no way to give access to the board to everyone on the web?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Correct, boards are a function of Software, and you need to be a licenced user to use boards.
