1. JIRA Permissions General Overview

JIRA has a flexible security system that allows you to configure who can access JIRA, and what they can do/see within JIRA:

  1. Global permissions - apply to JIRA as a whole (all existing projects within your instance).
  2. Project permissions - organized into permission schemes, these apply to projects as a whole (e.g. who can see the project's issues ('Browse' permission), create, edit and assign them).
    1. Comment visibility - allows the visibility of individual comments (within an issue) to be restricted.
    2. Work logs visibility - allows the visibility of individual work-log entries (within an issue) to be restricted. Does not restrict the visibility of the progress bar on issue time tracking.
  3. Issue-level Security - organized into security schemes, these allow the visibility of individual issues to be adjusted, within the bounds of the project's permissions.
