Project Access

[Majida]

Hello,

IF project is marked as done in JIRA. Can the people in the project marked as viewers still view the project? One client is outside the organization who has viewer access and I would like to know if they can still view the project in JIRA even though it's marked as done.

Projects do not have a status, so I'm a bit stuck on exactly how you are marking a project as "done". 

My guess would be that you have a project for tracking other projects (with each project issue in that project having a status), so the status and status category can be used to indicate that a project is "done".

That does not have a link to configuration unless you've built something to do it.

A project is accessible to people if the permission scheme grants them access.  For an ended project, a lot of people will set a permission scheme that says "people can read it, but not create issues" (or even just make it completely read-only), and later, after no-one has looked at it for a while, swap to one that says "only admins can see it", and after a while longer with no-one asking, they may well delete it completely.  If you're on Data Center or one of the higher levels of Cloud, they'll probably take advantage of the "archive" functions.

But none of that is tied to a project status automatically, because there isn't one.

How are you representing project status?

Status category "Done"

Hi @Majida 

When you say marked as done - can I clarify what you mean?

Projects don't have a status natively. So if a user has Browse Projects permissions they should continue to have access continuously.

Hi @Majida 

This refers to a Workflow Status' status category. Each Status is coloured, and they're either...

• Grey = To Do
• Blue = In Progress
• Green = Done

Issues in Done don't disappear or get hidden in a Project natively, so users will continue to see them even if they've been completed :)
