How do I keep people from seeing projects that they are not users on.

I just added an outside developer to a couple of my jiras but when he shared his screen he could see every project.

Hello @anthony_garza 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

There are two "types" of projects in a Jira instance; Company Managed and Team Managed.

Access to these two types of projects is managed differently.

For Team Managed projects, each project has an Access setting of Open, Limited, or Private. Such projects with an Open or Limited setting are going to be at least visible to any user that has access to your Jira product.

All Team Managed projects would need an Access setting of Private to prevent them from being seen, and then the users who do need access to each of those projects would have to be specifically added to each of those projects.

For Company Managed projects access to the projects are managed through Permissions Schemes. Permissions schemes can grant the "Browse Projects" permission to users based on these other options:

You would need to examine the Permission schemes associated with each project to see how the permission has been granted and then ensure that the user does not qualify to see the project through any of those settings. Also note that User Groups can be associated to Project Roles.

If the user does have permissions, you would need to determine the best way to remove those permissions, assessing how that change might impact the access of the user to other projects, or the access of other users for the projects.

Hi @anthony_garza 

Permissions. Check:

- to which groups the Devs belong to.

- Which role the Dev has.

- Check on one project the permissions scheme and role and modify accordingly.
