Set comment and notification visibility, on a per-reporter or per-issue basis

[Ben Arons]

I'm looking for a way to prevent the reporter of an issue from receiving some comments, but not others. Ideally it would be controlled by the assignee (or other members of their team) on a comment by comment basis.

Is this even possible with script?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Yes, each comment you can set the visibilty as explained here http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Commenting+on+an+Issue

Thanks Renjith, but there's a wrinkle: The comment visiblity needs to be restricted to a group who's contents depends on the reporter of the issue. It will change. The static system groups we can setup will not suffice.

Okie, understand. But not able to think of any solutions.
