Restrict access to an issue type
You must have an administrator role in your project to do the things described on this page. Learn more about team-managed project roles.
Some tasks may contain sensitive or confidential information. For example, to get their job done, software teams may require access to personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive financial data. You can easily create an issue type to estimate, prioritize, and track this type of sensitive or confidential work. And, you can restrict who sees that type of work to specific roles in your project.
To restrict newly-created issue types:
If not already there, navigate to your team-managed Jira project.
From the project’s sidebar, select Project settings > Issue types.
From the sidebar, select the issue type that you want to restrict access to.
Choose the lock icon at the top-right of the issue type.
Select the roles that can view new issues by default from the dropdown.
Select Restrict.
Any newly create issues are restricted to the roles you’ve nominated. Previously-created issues are unaffected.
Roles that have permission to Restrict any issue can change an issue’s restriction while viewing it. Learn more about roles and permissions.
