Xporter allows Project administrators to create and manage Permission Schemes on the Project level.
All features related to Permission Schemes management on App Administration are included at this level of configuration, except that the user can't associate projects to the scheme and it's not possible to set a scheme as default.
To access this page just choose a project from your Jira instance and go to Project Settings > Xporter > Permission Schemes. Only project administrators will have access.
From now on, the Project administrators are able to add, edit and delete permission schemes on the project level. This way, Xporter needs to associate the schemes defined in project and admin level witch result in a new scheme with roles and groups grouped by issue type.
Define permissions
To define the permissions of a Permission Scheme, project administrators should click the Permissions button that appears in each of the Permissions Schemes. This screen is similar to the one used in the app administration with some differences:
- Only issue types and roles available for the selected project can be defined.
- For each issue type selected the user can define project templates or global templates (when toggle "enable global templates" is enable).
The project administrator, also has the possibility to disable/ enable global Permission Schemes in the project, by clicking the toggle in the top right corner.
This toggle is disabled if the "Enable Global Templates" toggle is off.
Examples
Permission Scheme "Developers" (Created by project administrator)
Result:
User can export tasks and bugs if respect one of these conditions:
- Has role "administrator".
- Belongs to "Atlassian-addon-admin" group.
In this scenario it's only possible to export in single issue because the issue types defined doesn't have a common template.
Multiple Permission Schemes
If a JIRA administrator creates and associates a scheme to your project, the scheme will be merged with the ones created by you. Bellow you can see a scheme and the result of merging it with the one above.
Permission Scheme "Administrators" (Created by JIRA administrator)
Result:
- Users who have role "Administrators" and "Developers" or belong to "atlassian-addons-admin" and "confluence-users" can export issues of type bug, task or story.
- Users who have role "administrators" can only export tasks or bugs.
- Users that belong to both groups can export tasks, bugs or stories.
In this case user can't export multiple issues from the 3 different types because there aren't common templates between them.
