Hi,

I just want to hide or archive a project that has already shipped. We won't need to add more issues to it but we wan't to keep the history just in case. There was a way (given an old tutorial I found) but can't find the way to do such thing in the new Jira.

 

Thanks

Hello,

You can go to project settings -> permissions.  If this permission scheme is used by other projects, copy the current permission scheme and associate the copied scheme to the project. Then revoke all users, role and groups from permissions.

Hi Luis -

I just created a permission scheme (JIRA ADMINISTRATION > Issues > Permission schemes) and you revoke all permissions for everyone in the entire scheme. Next, you go to your project (Projects > "ProjectName" > Project settings > Permissions > Actions) and assign whatever project you want to archive with that permission scheme. This will effectively keep the project in JIRA but hide it from all users including admins.

If you ever need to revive the project, just change the permission scheme. Hope this is helpful!

Thanks

I don't know if there is another option in the cloud. The simplest way is to apply a permission scheme that doesn't give any user access. The JIRA admin will still see it on their list and can change the permission scheme if needed. Here is an article about JIRA server.
