How to limit users access to a specific project in Jira and specific space Confluence?

[Sami Skaff]

Hi all,  

I need to limit user access to a specific project in Jira, so the other projects will not be visible, and I need to limit specific users to their dedicated space in Confluence.

Thanks,

Sami

Hi @Sami Skaff

1. Browse Projects permission is used to grant view access on the jira project. To restrict user access to specific project in Jira, add required users/group to browse permissions.
   Please note: If the permission scheme is shared with other projects, then the same access will be granted to other projects as well. So its always better to add project roles in Browse permission and then add required users to the Project roles.  
2. To restrict access to specific space in confluence, go to space settings --> space permission , add required users/group to View column.
   To know more about space permissions, please read https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/

Hi @Rilwan Ahmed 

Thanks for providing your answer here! I was wondering if there is any way to explicity limit access to users as oppose to just give access to all of those who need it. 

Like rather than include all users that need access, can we just exclude the smaller subset which in my case will be easier. 

Many thanks, 

Lewis

Hi @Lewis McNeil ,

Did you ever find a way to do this? I'm in the same situation and would like to restrict a group of users to a single project while allowing the rest of my users to be able to access all projects.

Thanks,

Nothing as of yet still only able to grant permission not restrict. The only way around this was to ensure all relevant users are added to a specific group in JIRA then in the project permissions set this group with the access they need.
