Two boards with various tasks but no connection between

[Allison Reece]

My group is set up with two boards. The first board is used by a few people and contains all the issues that our team is working on. The second board is used by a smaller team, and they use it to direct their workflow. Here is the issue: to set up a task on the second board, the team will LINK the task from the first board, manually copy and paste all the information they need, and then work from that new issue (on the second board). The problem is when the issue is updated with new information on the first board - there is no synch between the items on the different boards. Thus, the info isn't alway relayed to the team who is doing the work, and its not timely to rely on emails (heads down, don't always check emails). Is there a way to connect the two issues so that what is updated in the first board will be automatically updated in the second board? Is there a better way to create the issues on the second board? TIA

The default user group in Jira used to be jira-users, but since you now have three different flavors of Jira there are now three groups (jira-users, jira-software-users, jira-servicedesk-agents). You can use your own groups to define what application access the group has.

how do I do that?

You can manage application access under Administration > Applications > Application Access. See Manage group access to applications for more information.
