One or "more" permission schemes ?

[Consulente Atlassian]

in a JIRA installation (hypothetical) I have 4 projects: dev1, dev2, dev3, dev4. Currently, there is only one permission scheme for all 4 projects. I then have a "developers" group that is present on each of the 4 projects in the "developers" role. And finally I have 4 test teams: test1, test2, test3 and test4. All developers must work indifferently on projects. While each test team must be able to work ONLY on the issues of the relevant project: test1 for dev1, test2 for dev2, and so on. In particular, testers must be able to "close" issues only in the project they are responsible for.
In your opinion, what should I do better: a) create a permit scheme for each of the DEV1,2,3,4 projects and assign the close issue permit to the reference test group for that project? or b) create a new "testers" role in each of the DEV1,2,3,4 projects and leave only one permission scheme to modify it so that the close issue permission is only assigned to the "testers" role?

Hello Kalos,

In my  opinion i suggest  you  keep  one permission scheme in  all these projects and create a new role testers for instance  in different projects   and assign  close  issue permission  no need to  create unnecessary  permission schemes in your Jira instance for each  project, keep it simple, compact  and efficient :)

Best!

I'll start out with a strong warning against any type of disclosure of any exam question in a public forum, or anywhere else.   Please check our Candidate Agreement for more information about this. 

Errors in actual scored exam questions are rare, due to the rigor of the process we follow to develop, vet and maintain them.

Regarding how to connect with the Certification Team to register concern about an exam question, Bastian is correct, use this link: https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/9.  (The Comments test takers can add during the exams are reviewed during regular periodic QA; for immediate concern that your score might have been impacted by an error, submit a Service Desk issue.)

Finally, we don't provide post-exam feedback telling test takers which questions they got correct and which incorrect, so I would like to follow up with you, Kalos,  and find out where this information came from:  "according to Atlassian, my answer and the one you are confirming seems NOT to be the right one".

@Julia

Thank you for your clarification. I have transcribed what I remember of a specific question, I am not divulging neither the answers that were proposed as possible solutions nor other details. I just wanted to see whether what I think is the right answer to that question was an answer shared by others. Just as you say, that it is not possible to know the true exact answer to the question, I'm not sure, I repeat, what the exact answer to that question is (which dates back to a test a year ago in any case). Only you can know this. Then if you think that I am divulging confidential information or that I even threaten that I am contravening the rules you mentioned on the exams ... I am sorry because you don't even imagine how much I am an advocate of Atlassian products and it is precisely because I would like you to improve also on the aspect of the exam procedure that I have worked on with this question. But if my purpose is misunderstood, I confess to you I tell you sincerely, that I just pass the desire to do something else. Even reporting on the reported help desk.

Hi @Consulente Atlassian,

Better to have single permission Scheme and then work with project roles/groups to restrict the functionality like close issue blah..

The reason is that in feature if you want to change something related to permission then just you need to do the changes in single permission scheme but not in different so the workload will be reduced.

Hi @Consulente Atlassian,

I would use option b), in my opion you can handle that a lot better than option a).

You do not have that many schemes, that makes it more clear. And you can reduce your administrative work, because project admins can add and remove Testers from that role and it is not up to you to do this changes.

hi @Consulente Atlassian,

I recommend that you keep one permission scheme and add people to the roles in each project

I thank all of you for the answer that confirms the one I gave three times in a row during my three attempts to pass the ACP-100 exam but according to Atlassian, my answer and the one you are confirming seems NOT to be the right one. So I wonder: are these exams a bit like a wheel of luck? Is there a review committee of questions and answers as for example exists for the CISSP of ISC2 ? Because it's honestly disappointing... that a company like Atlassian has so little regard for the quality of the answers (and questions) in the certification exams.

@Consulente AtlassianReally ?? huuh  when you  have large JIRA instance,  and lots  of schemes they  should not  forget i do  clean up, to ease administration.

[Consulente Atlassian]

@Moses Thomas
that you know there is a way to report a "doubt" about the exact answer to who creates the exams in Atlassian ?

[Bastian Stehmann]

@Consulente Atlassian

If I remeber right, there was a "Drop a comment to Atlassian"-Option within the Exam. 

And this is the link to the Atlassian University Service Desk, probably you can address that to them.

I think I remember the question you're answering (I think I reviewed originally and again when Jira 7 was released).  It is a tricky one, deliberately, but if it's in the same shape as my review notes suggest, then there is a subtle but significant difference between the right answer and the distractor I suspect you are thinking of.

As Bastian says, raise it with Atlassian, they do review them.
