prevend project admins to assign the jira-users group

[maarten breesnee]

Hi we have implemented project access via project roles so users need to be assigned to a project before having access. Now some people want to share the project with multiple users. The easies way to do that for them is using the jira-user group. However not every user wants to see it. To prevend this we want to create a special group for that so and projects can decide if they want to share the information via adding that special group and users can decide if they want to see that information by attaching themselves to that group (via ad-group). But we want to make sure that or we can prevend project admins connect that jira-user group or via script check and remove it everyday.... Would that be possible?

Dear @maarten breesnee,

with just Jira you cannot prevent this while allowing the management of versions and components. But your approach with a nightly running script sound pretty pragmatic.

With the REST API you can check the users and roles settings per project and remove unwanted added groups.

Can be done eg, with python, php or any other high coding language.

Have a look at Python JIRA and the REST API.

So long

Thomas
