Issue Security for a single user

[John Edwards]

I have a project A

Team T has access to project A

What I want to be able to do is let User Fred who is not in Team T, have view access (browse) to some but not all of the issues.

I have played with Issue security but can't get this to work

How can i do this?

cheers

Hi John,

When you say issue level security is not working, how is it not working? What problem are you having?

[John Edwards]

I can't get user Fred who is not in Team T to see the issue i want him to see.

I have an issue security scheme. 

I associated it to the project.

I created an issue security level called Fred Group that had a group called Fred.  This had Fred and I in it.

I then set a issue to the security level Fred Group.

But Fred can not see this issue.

If i understand this correctly, I don't want to set Fred to have Browse Project permission because then Fred can see all issues?  I just want Fred to see the issues I specify.

You will still have give him Browse Project permission.

However, you control which ones he sees with the Issue Security Scheme. The Issue Security field will have to be applied to all issues so he doesn't see the ones he shouldn't see. 

But you will need to add everyone else on the project to the Security Level so they can see all of the issues. 

Maybe you can post a screenshot of your Security Level after you add those?

@John Edwards  - Just checking in on this one. Any update?

Hi John,

• For your needs you can try to do the following:
  to Create a Custom Filed Something Like "Secure Watchers"
• add this Custom Filed in the project to the appropriate Screens and set it at the Security Level Scheme for Team A

Subsequently, all users who will be in the "Secure Watchers" field will see the specific issue. Fred must have Browse Project permission.

Hi,

I don't understand what you mean.

Can you expand on this please?
