Can I find out whether issue security levels are used in project and on which isues?

[Manuela Raschke]

I am currently restructuring a JIRA instance. There are 3 different issue security schemes. Problem is that they use they same descriptions for levels but the settings are different - which can lead to problems when working with different projects.

My aim is to merge the 3 schemes into one and have clear descriptions for the different levels. Before doing that I would like to know, how much each level is actually used.

Is there a way?

You can safely change the names of the levels any time, so I wouldn't be too worried about how much they are used.

On the other hand, rationalisation and standardisation - always good, and you need to know current usage before you can come up with a better scheme!

This does assume that you, as an admin, are included in every level in every security scheme, and , annoyingly, it doesn't work for the reporting I usually want to do, but you can simply search for "Level is not empty". 

This will give you a list of every secured issue and you can at least add the "Security Level" column to it and sort by that.
