View permissions
How do Jira Product Discovery view permissions work?
View access level
Views now have an access level that determines which space members or site members can access the view.
Everyone in the space can view. Creators can edit.
Everyone in the space can view. Selected users can edit.
Only selected users can view or edit.
This is how the view default access level works:
On Premium, a newly created view and all views in a newly created space will have Open access level.
If you upgrade to Premium, existing views are set to Open and behave the same way as before the upgrade. All users with the creator role can set up a view permission restriction if needed.
When downgrading to Free or Standard, all views behave as Open. That means restricted views will become visible for everyone.
When downgrading and then upgrading again, view permissions will be restored to their original state. They are not lost.
What is restricted for users with Can view access?
When the access level is limited or restricted, you can control which space members can see and which space members can edit the configuration of a view. The below counts as a view configuration:
Rename or delete the view.
Add, edit, or remove the view title, description, or emoji.
Modify view filters or sorting rules.
A viewer can set a view filter or a sorting rule, but the change will not be saved or visible to other users. Refreshing a page will revert it to its previous state.
Modify grouping rules.
Modify which fields are shown on a view.
Edit view-specific settings, for example. Column order in boards, or date fields and time markers for timeline views.
Modifying view permissions.
Who can be granted edit access on views ?
View permissions further restrict space permissions. Hence, the below users cannot edit views even if they are granted a can-edit permissions:
Space members with a contributor role.
Space members with a creator role that does not contain the Manage Views space permissions.
Site users without Jira Product Discovery app access.
Restricting access to specific users or groups
Open a view.
Select the lock icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
Set the access level to Restricted.
Under Additional access in the access dialog, search and select the names of users and groups on the site.
Select the permission: can edit or can view.
