I have to give a shoutout to the Atlassian Research group. They were super helpful, attentive, and great listeners! I chatted with Sam for about 30 minutes as he walked me through the wall of permissions and we discussed which users should be permitted to perform various functions in Jira.
This format was so cool and it allowed me to really dive deep into some of the more serious permissions issues that our users face. I ended up chatting much longer than I expected to and by the time we were finished I really felt like my voice was heard and that I was having a direct impact on the future of Jira permissions!
THANK YOU ATLASSIAN! Thank you for making awesome products and for listening to your users!
