Permission Schemes
What are permission schemes?
Permission schemes allow you to limit or extend users' access to information and actions. On External Share for Jira, you can benefit from project and issue (work item)-level permission schemes.
You can find out more about permission schemes here.
How to apply permission schemes
As a global administrator, you can navigate to the global settings of Approval Path,
Click on the “Apps” dropdown menu
Select the “External Share” option
Select the “Global settings” option
Select the “Permissions” tab
On the permissions page, you can enable permission schemes.
External Share - Permission scheme
Permission | Description |
|---|---|
External Share - Manage own shares | Ability to view/create/edit/delete own share links in Jira project. |
External Share - Manage all shares in project | Ability to view/create/edit/delete all share links in Jira project. |
Leaving the permission fields empty will deny access to all users.
Global administrators always have access to project settings.
Project administrators must also be granted permissions through the permission scheme to access External Share features. They do not have automatic access. If they can access features without the proper permissions, please report it to our support team.
Do I need to use permission schemes?
Permission schemes help you add permission to different operations for users; if you do not need to customize permissions, default permissions will be respected.
Default permissions
When Jira Permission Scheme is disabled
When groups and project roles are empty, all users will have access to all operations, including project-level access.
When Jira Permission Scheme is enabled
By default, no users have access to External Share operations. The project admin must first add permissions.
Error Message
Once the permission scheme is enabled, if a person without the necessary permissions tries to create, edit, or delete a share, an error message will appear.
