  • Run the JQL query below to search for issues which Security Level was set to "xxxxx":

    1 Level = "xxxxx"

    ℹ️ Replace "xxxxx" with the appropriate Issue Security Level

  • For example:

    • Let's assume that there is an issue security scheme associated to a project, with levels such as "Level A"

      (Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)
    • Let's assume that one Jira issue in this project has its security level set to "Level A"

      (Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)
    • To find this issue from the search page, used the JQL query below:

      1 Level = "Level A"
      (Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)

Note that issue tickets with security levels that the current user does not have access to, will not be shown.
