"Sharing" an issue does not work - clicking email link says "You don't have access"

I received an email saying an issue was shared with me, but when I clicked on the link in the email to display that issue # GCASD-916 it says "You don't have access to this issue. ... ask a project admin for permission to see the project's issues." Doesn't the message saying "Paul Wilt Jr shared an issue with you" indicate that the admin _already_ granted permission to see at least that one specific issue?

If I change the URL from what was in the email link:

    https://voko.atlassian.net/browse/GCASD-916

to:

    https://voko.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/18/GCASD-916

then I _can_ see the issue.

From the statement that says you need "permission to see [all?] the project's issues", it sounds like granting permission to just one issue isn't enough.

Expected behaviour:

  • The message would indicate you only need permission to the one issue you are trying to "browse", not all the project's issues - as in "You don't have access to this issue. Make sure the issue exists in this project. If it does, ask a project admin for permission to see this issue or to see all the project's issues."
  • The URL with the specific issue that was "shared" should display the issue rather than an error message.

A user can share a link to the issue but it will only be viewable if the user has Browse permissions. Get with the admin and have them check permissions.

Wouldn't the fact that I can view the issue indicate I have browse permissions?

Confused. I thought the is was that you received an email with a link to an issue and if you clicked the link you received an error. If you can view the issue then you have browse permissions. So what is the issue?

Was there reason found @Rob Simpson ? I am in a same boat links with Browse don't work but direct link to the issue does work. For example below

https://abc.atlassian.net/browse/xyz-916 -- This don't work

https://abc.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/18/xyz-916 - This does work


any suggestion will be useful.

Thanks
