Does ip-white-listing allow permission "Browse Project" set to anyone without outsiders

[Falk Pietsch]

Hi,

we are going to switch from our JIRA Software Server to JIRA Cloud. Currently we have set our JIRA-instance (projects) to be "browsable" by anyone and our JIRA-Server-Instance is only accessable within our VPN. This is very convenient for us because some people just need to be able to view informations without using a license.

while looking for alternatives to cover our case we discovered the ip-whitelisting-feature (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Keep-your-team-and-content-safe-with-IP-allowlisting-for/ba-p/1438293 ). 

For our company only people within our vpn need to access JIRA Cloud. Are we able to lock access to our vpn network with this feature?

With this we "open" our JIRA Cloud to "accessable by anyone" (set public) again and create the same behaviour we used to have in our JIRA Server instance:

- Anyone within vpn is able to "browse" issues.
- Only logged in users within vpn are able to edit/comment/... issues.
- no "outsider" (no vpn user) is able to access anything (no browse/..)
- no "outsider" is able to login

Kind regards,
Falk
