Way to restrict view on certain issues in a project rather than restricting view on entire project?

[Jared McNeil]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to restrict view of certain issues in a project rather than restricting view of the entire project. For example:

I'd like to keep project "XYZ" viewable to everyone, but I wish to have the issues XYZ-1, XYZ-2, XYZ-3 restricted to where only project admins can view those issues.

Is this done through the issue security setting? If so is there an FAQ for the Issue Security Setting?

Yes, you can do that through Issue Security Schemes/Level.

Take a look at this documentation

Correct, what you want to do is done via issue security. Have a look at this KB for more information. Basically what you need to do is:

• change the project permissions so you grant access to users to set the security
• create an issue security scheme
• add security level(s) to the scheme
• add members to the security level(s)
• assign the issue security scheme to the project
• add the security level field to the screens used by your issue types
