How to Securely sharing Jira Information with External User
Data is a very crucial part of any organization and sharing this data with the outside world will need to be more protected. Sending these information without spending much cost on Jira license is much required.
What if without spending much on license cost we will use some addon which will help us to share our information in a more secure and customized way. Customization means we can share the details whichever is required and if any part of data which we don't want to send then we will hide that part of information.
We can also add restrictions on view and edit level permission by this way we will have complete hold on data. So lets understand in detail "How to use Jira External Share".
