restore default permission scheme

[Mahesh Gupta]

Can anyone help me restore the default permission scheme on JIRA Software?

Here is what mine shows but cannot say if it is what yours was.

Note that I think the Manage Watchers is wrong. Something very strange happens to my instance recently where certain permissions were made public in some screens. I’m confident that I did not make these changes and am suspicious of an update being applied. Bottom line don’t add the public permission.

@Jack Brickey Thank you for the screenshot. Could you also help me with the "Default Software Scheme" similar way?

Hi @Mahesh Gupta 

With regards to your question, you might want to refer to the link below for the default settings of permission scheme

http://wiki.cementhorizon.com/display/CH/JIRA+Factory+Default+Settings#JIRAFactoryDefaultSettings-DefaultPermissionScheme

However you need to configure it manually to return to its original state.

I am unaware there is another method of doing so. Restoring your backup will lose the progress you did from the time when you did the backup to now.

Hope this helps, cheers :)

@PVS  I've used that link but I'm sceptical about the settings being the default permissions.

You can't.  The best you can do is download the evaluation version under a different name, maybe a personal email, install it and then review the defaults. This is one of the 'lessons learned'; never modify the default, create a new one and use it or You Can Take a copy and do permission.

Hi All, @Mahesh Gupta @Jack Brickey 

Once you delete something in Jira you have lost that data forever be it issues, attachments or any of the configuration objects.

Thats what inspired us at Revyz to build an app for simplifying backing up your cloud Jira instance which includes issues, attachments, comments, configuration objects and more.

Please visit our market place page to see all things we can help you with protecting your data in your Jira cloud instance - Revyz Backup & Restore 

Additional information is also available at - Revyz Backup & Restore for Jira Software Cloud

Also note Atlassian recommends that you backup your data per the SaaS Shared responsibilities 

I would love to get your feedback on what we are doing and how to improve given an opportunity.

Thank you

Vish
