Hi Jira Community! We have been working on improving the project admin’s experience to grant permissions to users, groups, and roles on the permission schemes page for Company managed projects. We’re excited to share the updates about changes that will be coming soon (some of you might have already started seeing this change) to Jira Cloud, which will make the experience easier, faster, and secure. More details on the changes are as follows: 1. Select multiple grants for a single permission
We have introduced the ability to give multiple grants for single permission, which is different from the earlier format where a single grant was given for multiple permissions. This change makes it easier to navigate through multiple combinations of permission & grants, with no change in the flexibility to grant them. This will also lead to grant permission experience becoming more secure in the future. 2. Continue granting permissions via the “Grant another permission” checkbox
Since we can now add multiple grants per permission, we have introduced the “Grant another permission” checkbox below to make granting multiple permissions simpler. 3. Categorization of Permissions
We learned from you that finding particular permission in the drop-down was not very intuitive. Hence, we have introduced categorization among the permissions to organize them. This will make it easier to identify permissions that are related to each other eg: Comment permissions. 4. “Public” and “Any logged in user” are now on Grant permission window
We have introduced “Public” and “Any logged in user” grant types in the “Grant Permission” window. “Any logged in user” was earlier residing within “Application access”, and “Public” was residing under the “Group” grant type. We’ve moved these grant types to the main window for easier access since they were one of the more commonly used items. 5. Better view of permission grants on the permission scheme page
We have introduced the “Show more” button to declutter the permission scheme interface, as more grants are added to permission. We haven’t changed any settings and behaviors, so there is no need to re-learn how to configure your permissions on these screens – they are just easier, faster, and secure. Once you’ve had a chance to try these changes out, let us know your thoughts by commenting on this post. We look forward to your feedback and to continuing to engage with you all as we further refine and improve permissions in Jira. Thank you! The Jira Cloud Permissions team |
