How to add users to only 1 project in JIRA?

[Judy Colonero]

I have a consulting firm that will be working in our JIRA instance.  I need them to only have access to 1 project.  Below is what I have done thus far but when logging in they can still see and access all of our other projects.  

1. Group created "External users", added the users to this group

2. Role created: "External user project role"

3. In project settings I added the group 'External users' to the project settings/people tab

4. Permission scheme being used is a copy of the JIRA default scheme renamed to "External Permission Scheme" -- all permissions have been modified and only have:

               Project role:  Administrators, External project role, atlassian-addons-project-access

Any help is greatly appreciated.  

Thank you, 

Judy

You would have to change the permission schemes for all your projects, the default one allows any logged in user to browse projects. If all your other projects are using the default scheme, just change it to jira-software-users, then make sure your external users do not belong to that group. You would also need to give your external group application access to Jira.

You can find a good overview of all the different permissions here, Configuring permissions

Thank you Mikael.  This worked.  I did have to modify all my other projects permissions, tedious task but all in all by adding the jira-software-users it was a success.  

Thank you,

Hello :)
Project permissions are managed using administrator permissions, be they classic or Netx-U.

In classic projects it is carried out through permission schemes.

In next generation projects it is done through custom roles.
