how to create a private project on jira

[Shravan Kumar Boragala]

can I create a private project that can be visible only to me but not to anyone ?

Hello @Shravan Kumar Boragala

Projects have their own permission scheme, thus if you have admin rights (sys admin) then you can create a permission scheme which only allows you to create and view issues in an project.

Hello,

You can.

Create a next-gen project and do not add any members to your project.

Can we restrict administrators to add people to private projects?

Thanks.

This is from NextGen:

Is this not possible with "Classic project" to set a board to Private? (in other words, not even admin can see it)

The permissions I see for "Classic project" is only for groups or single user

Though here it says "Changing a board's administrators - 
Enter the names of the desired users or groups"

@Alexey Matveev Is it not possible to have a Classic project that not even admins can see? (meaning: only those users that are added to the board have permission to see it and edit it)

Hello @Beining

Admins can add themselves to any project. Nothing can be hidden from them.

@Alexey Matveev thanks for quick reply! Makes sense.

However, this is not the case with Confluence where pages can be restricted to specific users. Correct?
