Make specific tasks in a project visible to viewers without Jira access

[corinne.sabom]

Hi!

Is there any way to make specific tasks in a project in Jira visible/public?

In my company we want to be more transparent when it comes to the different steps in the progress and especially when it comes to the collaboration between development and business

I know I've heard about the function in big tech-companies where they've had some open sessions for all people in a certain department in order to get more ideas to the development i projects

Do you guys have any idea if and/or how I can do this?

(I know that we can whatch a specifik task but that function is for Jira users with proper access)

You can make whole projects available to "anonymous" users - people who have not logged in.

If you do that, I'll strongly recommend that the permissions are limited to read-only functions (pretty much "browse project" and maybe "view workflow" and nothing else) - never let an anonymous user have write, or you will not be able to track who is making changes (which is pretty much the point of an issue tracker), and you'll open yourself up to spam attacks.

If you need to hide issues within a public project, then you can use "issue security" to hide them from "anonymous"

Hi Nic!

Thank you for your answer

Yes I agree that this is a somewhat risky thing to do, so I will definitely be careful with the settings

Do you know how I do to make it available to non-Jira users? Where in settings do I go and how to I set up these features?

Thank you in advance!
