How do i see what Projects a user has access to?

Simon.Francis April 8, 2025

I'm trying to get a list of Projects a user has access to. As an Org Admin I would assume this is something that is possible.

I can see some posts from back in 2018 referencing using different REST APIs, but that all feels like a lot of hard work.

Anything available?

Thanks

Hi!

There is no page that will list available projects for a specific user.

But as an organization admin you can use the "login as user" button to switch to a specific user and check the list of projects as that user.

Log in as another user | Atlassian Support

It can sometimes be useful to troubleshoot access issues.

And at the issue level you have the permission helper which will display why a user can or can not access a specific issue/ project.

I hope this helps!

I agree that the best way would be to log in as the user.

Don't they get notified that this has happened?

Not a major concern, but may need to some explaining as to why.

Thanks for the workaround, but it feels like a long winded process. I have 70 users i need to check.

Yes they will get an email about it. So you might want to warn them up front.

It can be difficult to tell which projects a user can access indeed. I can see why this task is cumbersome.
It helps to simplify permission schemes and project roles.

If this is something you need to run regularly I would definitely look into the rest api.
