User Permissions

R4J allows the Jira Administrator to control and restrict access to specific parts of the plugin according to user groups.

Permissions in R4J are global permissions and therefore apply to all projects used with the plugin.

As within Jira, global permissions are granted to Jira usergroups.

Overriding project specific baseline permissions

Permissions to view and edit baselines in R4J can be granted individually on both, global level and project level. 
The effective permission depends on the combination of global and project specific settings.
A distinction is made between accessing baselines via "View All Baselines" from the main menu bar and the project specific baseline view. 

This table contains the possible global settings for a permission and the corresponding effective permission:

Global Setting

Effective Permission

Unrestricted user access

The user is permitted to view all existing baselines via "View All Baselines".
The permission to access a project specific baseline view depends completely on the project specific permission.

Permission is granted explicitly
to a specific usergroup

The permission to access both the "View All Baselines" item as well as every project specific baseline view is effectively granted
to the usergroup for all projects that are enabled with R4J.
The project specific permission settings have no influence on the effective permission.

Permission is revoked/not granted
explicitly from/to a specific usergroup

Members of the usergroup are not permitted to access the "View All Baselines" item.
The permission to access a project specific baseline view depends completely on the project specific permission.
