Unable to add customers for portal access invite to JSM as "service desk agent " & as Project admin & Jira admin, 

This is for users that already have a Jira account on cloud site. just was to send them an invite to the helpcentre portal.   

keep getting this messaged checked everywhere, i have all the correct permission on the project and global,

checked https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskcloud/resolving-jira-service-desk-permission-errors-1097175958.html

sections "Granting permissions to this role gives customers access to Jira functions. Customers should only have access to a Customer Portal and permissions should be granted to the  Service Desk Customer - Portal Access security type.

As a result, administrators will not be able to add any customers to the service project. Open service projects will become restricted. Public signup will be disabled." 

 

still the same error appears, although the site admin can add customer. 

Thank you in advance for the help,

Hello @stuart carter 

You need to change your App access settings from your Atlassian administration. So, it's Atlassian administration -> Apps -> App access settings -> JSM -> Change it to Invite approved domains

Hi @stuart carter 

Welcome to the community.

If they have already an account on the instance, you can just grant them the permissions or license in case of JSM.

In a sense @Nikola Perisic is right, but this gives any license user the opportunity to invite people to your instance.

So in my opinion its better to grant them permissions and notify the colleagues via mail or messaging app.

This keeps invitations closed, so not any license user can sent out invitations.

Yes, but also the use case depends here.
