Is "Set Issue Security" permission needed if user shouldn't see the default issue security level?

I need to provide access to an integration contractor to a Jira project, and the project admin would like the contactor to access only the ticket that the contractor himself creates and be able to do most things on the ticket. 

I created a separate issue security level with "Contractor" and "Organisation", and granted most permissions to the project role (contactor), but this role doesn't have the "Set Issue Security", since I thought this would allow him to modify the issue security.

But it says in the documentation that: 

  • If the reporter of an issue does not have the 'Set Issue Security' permission, the issue will be set to the default security level. 

In this case, I selected the default issue security level to be Organisation, so that the rest of the org can continue creating their tickets as before.

But if the issue is set to the default security level, the contractor would not be able to see the issue he just created. 

Does this mean I should give the contractor role "Set Issue Security" permission? And since the "Org" issues shouldn't be visible to him, he would not be able to modify the Issue Security Level anyway? 

What is the best practice approach for this? Thanks! 
Are there other approaches for this? I was told this could be done by just a checkmark in Zendesk. 

Thanks!

Hi, Samuel.

 

As for plugins to achieve the integration, I managed to find two different plugins. However, please note that Atlassian does not support third-party plugins and any inquiries regarding them are best raised to the add-on vendors directly. We also did not test the usage of these plugins, so we cannot guarantee that it works 100%, nor can we guarantee that this fulfills the requirements for which you are looking for.

Here are the two links:

 

Hope it helps.

There is also a third supplier: Zappier. See https://zapier.com/app-directory/jira/integrations/onenote
