Restricting Big Picture plugin for certain projects / users

[BerndB]

Hi,

we have a single Jira instance, which is used by several groups. One of the groups requires classical project management functionality for specific projects (such as Gantt charts). Therefore, we are evaluating the Big Picture plugin in order to see, if this fulfills the needs.

The visual impact of the plugin for projects which do not profit from the Big Picture plugin is however (unacceptably) high: by default, there is a lot of empty space in the UI, which might be filled with contents from Big Picture .... users can collapse these sections - but this setting is not persistent and they have to do that again and again.

Is there a possibility to restrict Big Picture to specific Projects?

you can disable the widgets for all users (I think not for groups)

Hi @BerndB

As you can see in BigPicture documentation, you can disable/enable Skill & WBS widget for certain projects or issue types in Jira Administration >> BigPicture Technical Configuration >> Widgets. 

Please let me know if this solution answers your needs.
