How can I add a group to a company managed project

[Kimberly Kriegler]

I am trying to allow vendors access to a specific project only using a group, but I am struggling on to add the group to the project

I still am struggling I created a  group called Vendor-Stitch added the group to the project.  I created a vendor Scheme however we have internal people in there as well and they should not be limited to the vendor scheme so I can't use it.  By just adding the group Vendor-Stitch and adding my test person into the group along with Jira User I am unable to access the company managed project.

Hi @Kimberly Kriegler 

Try adding a permission schema based on project roles. This can be applicable across different projects.

Create a new user group and add the members you want.

Let's say

Role "Core Team"

Configure permission schema that "Core Team" has:

1. Browse Issues Permission
2. Assign Issue Permission
3. Create Issues Permission
4. Assignable Permission
5. and whatever else you need

For "Project 1" , go to Users and roles and add "New_Group" under "Core Team" project role.

This would ensure that all members of "New_Group" have the permissions assigned above.

Best regards

Adding to this...

You will also have to check how permissions on the other projects in your instance to ensure that none of them have permissions granted to Public, or Any Logged In User, as those setting would enable the external vendor to access those projects also.

If you have Team Managed projects in your instance, the Access setting for those needs to be set to Private and the users that need access to those projects have to be explicitly granted access. The Open and Limited Access settings allow anybody on your Jira instance access to at least view data in the projects, and so the external vendor would be able to see those projects also.
