Jira 8 Essentials

By: Patrick Li

Overview of this book

Atlassian Jira enables effective bug tracking for your software and mobile applications and provides tools to track and manage tasks for your projects. Jira Essentials is a comprehensive guide, now updated to Jira 8 to include enhanced features such as updates to Scrum and Kanban UI, additional search capabilities, and changes to Jira Service Desk. The book starts by explaining how to plan and set up a new Jira 8 instance from scratch before getting you acquainted with key features such as emails, workflows, business processes, and much more. You'll then understand Jira's data hierarchy and how to design and work with projects. Since Jira is used for issue management, this book delves into the different issues that can arise in your projects. You’ll explore fields, including custom fields, and learn to use them for more effective data collection. You’ll create new screens from scratch and customize them to suit your requirements. The book also covers workflows and business processes, and guides you in setting up incoming and outgoing mail servers. Toward the end, you’ll study Jira's security model and Jira Service Desk, which allows you to run Jira as a support portal. By the end of this Jira book, you will be able to implement Jira 8 in your projects with ease.

Project permissions

As you have seen, global permissions are rather coarse in what they control and are applied globally. Since they can only be applied to groups, they are rather inflexible when it comes to deciding whom to grant permissions to.

To provide a more flexible way of managing and designing permissions, Jira allows you to manage permissions on a project level, which allows each project to have its own distinctive permission settings. Furthermore, permissions can be assigned to one of the following:

  • Application access: This is for any user that has been granted access to the application
  • Reporter: This is the user who submitted the issue
  • Group: These are all users that belong to the specified group
  • Single user: This is any user in Jira
  • Project lead: This is the lead of the project
  • Current assignee: This is the user currently assigned to the issue
  • User custom field value...
