Permissions for Jira Issue Collector plugin

Dave Drexler

We run Jira on our internal network, and it's not accessible to users outside the company. Can anonymous users submit issues via the Issue Collector plugin? What needs to happen, permissions-wise, to allow that?

That's awesome, now I can see it. These were the two conditions why we couldn't install it. Now that it is supported and no-beta, nothing will stop me :).

Glad you pointed that out, Diego. I found the problem and fixed it so the plugin is now visible to everyone. Let me know if you still can't get to it - I could download it without being logged in, so it should be publicly visible now.

Cheers,

Bryan

" but there's also an updated version available on marketplace." I still see the old version, and I desperatedly need a non-beta version unbundled from JIRA 5.1.

We just shipped the Issue Collector bundled with JIRA 5.1, but there's also an updated version available on marketplace.

We specifically targeted a lot of the bug fixes and improvements for the anonymous use case, since the Issue Collector is designed for feedback from users who are not JIRA users.

However, if you put the issue collector on a website outside your corporate network, and your JIRA instance is inside your corporate network (and you don't allow HTTP/S traffic to reach your JIRA instance), then the Issue Collector won't be able to submit feedback to JIRA. I.e. if you can get to JIRA from outside your corporate network without a VPN, then you should be able to use the Issue Collector.

So I doubt it is a JIRA permissions issue, it's likely because JIRA isn't accessible via HTTP or HTTPS. A solution could be to allow traffic from the server that the Issue Collector is embedded in, to your internal JIRA instance, though I realize your network policy might not allow that.

Another option is a second JIRA instance outside your corporate network for external projects. A lot of JIRA customers have internal and external JIRA instances since some information or projects are internal and sensitive, while others are shared with customers, clients, or partners.

in that case, could the internal jira be configured to import the issues from the external instance?
