User permissions

[Nancy Braier]

Can assign a Group or User permissions to ONLY see one Project in Jira?

Hello @Nancy Braier 

The tags on your post indicate you are using a Free subscription. Is that accurate?

If so, in a Free subscription you cannot customize user permissions for projects. All users granted access to your Jira product have Project Administrator permissions for all projects.

If you want to manage users and groups access to your projects you would need to upgrade to a paid subscription, i.e. a Standard subscription

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it is free plan. I will upgrade.

Best,

Nancy

When you do upgrade, be advised that restricting project access is not simple.

There is no method to say explicitly:

User X is not allowed to access Project A

Group Y is not allowed to access Project B

You "restrict" access by not granting access. You have to examine how access is being granted to your projects and ensure that the user(s) and group(s) you want to restrict have not be granted access. 

Note also that if you use both Team Managed and Company Managed projects, the method for managing access to those projects is different. 

For Team Managed project there is an overarching Access level for each project, and then users are assigned to Roles in the project which provides finer granularity on the permissions they have in that project.

For Company Managed projects, access is managed through Permission Schemes.
