There are three types of permissions in Jira applications, and they range from the high-level to granular: 1 Global permissions - These apply to applications as a whole, not individual projects (for example, whether users can see the other users in the application). 2 Project permissions - Organized into permission schemes, these apply to projects (e.g. who can see the project's issues, create, edit and assign them). While project admins can assign users to a project, they can't customize the permission schemes for a project. There are lots of project-level permissions you can set to control what users can do within a project. 3 Issue security permissions - Organized into security schemes, these allow the visibility of individual issues to be adjusted (within the bounds of the project's permissions).

How does Jira secure conversations?
Jira secures conversations through roles. Let’s take a look at an example of a comment designed for the internal team.
Why use roles in a workflow?
What’s great about using roles is that we can separate the person from the job function. For example, when moving an issue out of internal review, the workflow will assign the issue to an external lead. If we embed the name or group of the external partner in the workflow, that workflow will only work for that one company. Using roles will allow us to flexibly use the workflow across multiple projects, parametrizing the people involved.

What is the second layer of Jira?
The second layer are the groups provided by that directory. In each directory, you want one group that defines all of the users who have access to Jira. Everyone who accesses Jira needs to be a member of jira_users. I want to identify users who are internal or external explicitly to delegate permissions. On the internal side, I’ve created a group called mars_users, and on the external side, it’s called all_partners. Both mars_users and all_partners will be added to the group jira-users.
