Jira: Assign permission based on Groups

I have 14 people in 5 teams. Some are overlapping. i.e A couple of Web team members are part of the Server team.

I am not sure if this is the right way, but I would like to manage each team with their own Jira project.

Thus, I have 5 projects:

Mobile

Design

Web

Server

Hardware

I would like to assign access to projects based on Group. i.e. Mobile project should only be accessed by a Group name Mobile Developers. Design project should only be accessed by the Design Team Group. Design should NOT have access to the Mobile project.

How do I accomplish this on Jira Cloud?

Currently I have two Permission Scheme: enter image description here

Default software scheme shows all 5 of my projects. I can only edit the Name and Description. When I click on Permissions it takes me to a screen that says:

How can I assign permission to each individual project based on Group?

Solution

  • Clone your default permission scheme and create a custom permission scheme for each project.

    For example:

    Mobile Project Permission Scheme

    Next, assign the new permission schemes to the projects. So the Mobile project uses the Mobile Project Permission Scheme, the Web project uses the Web Project Permission Scheme, etc.

    At this stage, there is no new behaviour as all the projects are using the same permission scheme, just they now have their own copies of the scheme. That means any changes you make to a custom permission scheme will only impact on one project.

    Now, edit the permission schemes and give permissions based on the groups.

    e.g.

    Manage Sprints - Mobile_User_Group
