| What information is on this page |
|---|
| This information contains tutorials on how to add people to your JIRA project and provide them with specific permissions. |
| Common use case(s) |
|---|
You have a vendor or UC Partner on your project and would like to give them access to only your project. You don't want everyone in ITS to view your project (potentially a security project) |
| What this doesn't solve |
|---|
| This doesn't solve issue specific visibility (i.e. you only want someone to see 1 issue in your project). There is a way to do this, but reach out to a JIRA admin. |
| Why did this change? |
|---|
| In order to support a more robust system, as we cross collaborate, we needed to give projects flexibility on what people can and cannot do. |
Background
A Jira application project role is a flexible way to associate users and/or groups with a particular project. Unlike groups, which have the same membership throughout Jira applications, project roles have specific members for each project. Users may play different roles in different projects.
For all of the following procedures, you must be logged in to Jira as a project administrator.
Viewing project role members
- Go to your project and click Project settings.
Select Users and Roles.
Assigning a user or group to a project role
- Go to your project and click Project settings.
Select Users and Roles.
- Select Add user to a role from the top right corner.
Search for the user or group you wish to add, and select the project role you wish to add them to.
Note that the Browse users and groups global permission is required to search for existing users or groups at this step. If you do not have this permission, you will need to specify the exact name or email address.- Select Add.
Removing a user or group from a project role
- Go to your project and click Project settings.
Select Users and Roles.
- In the user's or group's entry on the table, select Remove.
