Can you ran a saved filter on a project without view issue permission

[David S]

Hi Team,

Say l've a saved filter with JQL :

project = TEST AND resolution = EMPTY

The filter is shared to user A but the user has no view issue permission for the project = TEST, does user A be able to run and see the filter output?

Thanks

Hi @David S ,

User should have browse permission on the project and user should be in the security schema (if any security is applied).

You can project permission details @ https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/managing-project-permissions-938847145.html

so short answer is no then, even a user has the filter access will not be able to run the JQL if it doesn't have browse project permission?

[Sreenivasaraju P]

Yes. User can't view the tickets of any project without having browse permission.

[David S]

Be more precise, the user does not need to open or browse the issue explicitly but just run the JQL to see the count of issue.

Does that still count as browse??

Yes - the security is simple - if someone can not see an issue, they can't use it in reports - JQL will not return an issue that the current user cannot see.
