limit groups on issue type

[Mohamed El Taweel]

In project "ProjectX" with many issue types (Issue type1 , issue type2, issue type3)

Can we limit : "Group1" can see only issue type  "issue type1"

                     "Group2" can see all other groups

Thank you.

The simplest way is to have separate projects for each issue type. 

[Alexey Matveev]

You can use issue security schemes. You can find more info here:

[Josh Steckler]

That's a manual process though. You can't set different default security levels for different issue types out of the box.

[Alexey Matveev]

Yes, it would be manual. 

[Mohamed El Taweel]

What do you mean by manual?

[Josh Steckler]

Every new issue created would need to have a user select from a drop down list the proper option for that issue type. Manually.

Automating it will require additional add-ons.

@Joe Pitt 's suggestion is probably the best way to do this while using only the tools Jira has out of the box.

[Mohamed El Taweel]

How could selecting user from drop down for every new issue help in implementing the requirement?

[Alexey Matveev]

You would need manually set security level for every issue. If you have Power Scripts or ScriptRunner or something like this, you could automate the process

[Mohamed El Taweel]

What users should be in the drop list , in other words the users of Group1 and Group2?

Based on the user entered How can I automate the process, could you please elaborate some more details?

[Alexey Matveev]

If you want to automate the process, you need a plugin like Power Script, ScriptRunner, Workflow Toolbox. You could develop your own post function and set the required issue security level based on the selected user in the post function.

[Josh Steckler]

You will probably need an add-on to accomplish this. See this doc for reference:
