Setting the security level on a issue based on the assignee

[Donika Pacolli]

Is there some way of automating setting the security level on a issue, based on the assignee. Based on my understanding (I'm fairly new still), one needs to set the security level manually, when assigning the issue to someone who may only see something particular. 

Is there no other way take make this more automated? Or does it happen automatically when a person in a project-role that is in the security level, gets assigned?

Hi @Donika Pacolli - You can use Jira automation for this:

• TRIGGER: Field Value Changed (Assignee)
• IF CONDITION: Assignee = YOURASSIGNEE
  • ACTION: Edit Issue (Security Level)
    Desired security level for the assignee
• ELSE CONDITION
  • ACTION: Edit Issue (Security Level)
    Revert the security level back the other level

@Mark Segall Thanks for your fast response!

Is it possible to do this based a project-role (so if the assignee is part of x project group) then Edit Issue (Security Level)? :)

Hi @Donika Pacolli - Yes, there's a User Condition you can use.  Your rule would look like this instead:

• TRIGGER: Field Value Changed (Assignee)
• IF CONDITION (User Condition)
  • Assignee
    Is In Role
    Your Role
  • ACTION: Edit Issue (Security Level)
    Desired security level for the role
• ELSE
  • ACTION: Edit Issue (Security Level)
    Revert the security level back

Ah yes, makes sense! Thank you for your help! :-)

Hi Mark Segall,

In the above-mentioned automation, the user can still have the option to change the security level. How can I disable the user so that he can not change that security level?

Hi @sumaiya shahid - Can you please raise a new question and @mention me?  In your question, please share screenshots of your rule as it stands today.
