Common use case(s)

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. Note: If the UC Partner or Vendor does not have an AD account, you need to create a service now ticket for them to be added.

You don't want everyone in ITS to view your project (potentially a security project)

You want to collaborate with someone from non-its, but still a UCSD employee. In that case, they may have lost access. Reach out to its-pro@ucsd.edu and we can resolve that for you quickly.

 

What this doesn't solve

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?

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.

Finding a project lead

  1. Go to Projects in the menu bar > View all projects

  2. Type the name of the project and see the project lead.

Viewing project role members

  1. Go to your project and click Project settings

  2. Select Users and Roles.

Assigning a user or group to a project role

  1. Go to your project and click Project settings

  2. Select Users and Roles.

  3. Select Add user to a role from the top right corner. 

  4. 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.

  5. Select Add.

Removing a user or group from a project role

  1. Go to your project and click Project settings

  2. Select Users and Roles.

  3. In the user's or group's entry on the table, select Remove.
