Change description for Components

[Stefano Colagiacomo]

Hello I try to make this question but probably I know already the answer.

Does someone know if there is a way to change the description of Components? 

I know Components it's not a custom field but it is a System field so I can t find a way to change a description for a particular context

@Tharsan Arumugam This Atlassian documentation can provide answers to all your questions on how to create "Issue Security Levels" and applying them to project(s).

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/configuring-issue-level-security-776636711.html

Please let me know if you have any specific issues while you do it.

do you know how i can grant 1 user permissions to 'set Issue security'? is this something only a super user can do, or can a super user give this type of permission to a PM for a particular project?

[Taranjeet Singh]

@Tharsan Arumugam You can set 'Set Issue Security' permission for a project role/group/Issue Role(Reporter, Current Assignee)/Single User, etc. in the Permission Scheme for that project. Make sure the project has a dedicated/separate Permission Scheme, otherwise the permission will be applied to all projects sharing that Permission Scheme.

And yes, Only a JIRA Admin or System Admin can edit the permissions for a project.

@Tharsan Arumugam If my answer worked for your case, can you please accept this solution for the others to follow?

To do this, add an issue security scheme as per docs - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/configuring-issue-level-security-776636711.html

However, I would not create an "all project users" level, as it is totally unncessary - to use it, your users just need to not set a security level.

[Tharsan Arumugam]

Thank You Nic, You're right. Creating an all project user level is not necessary, when projects are already defaulted to allow all project users to view an issue.

i am still not able to find information on how i can grant 1 user permissions to 'set Issue security' is this something only a super user can do, or can we give this type of permission to a PM?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

That is done in the permission scheme, and you can select users, groups, roles, etc the same way you'd set any other permission.  I'd strongly recommend using a role.

Also, note that users can only set security levels they belong to.
