In Jira, how we can determine Project Visibility using User Permissions

There are several areas of a Jira Cloud site where projects are listed by name. Project permissions determine their visibility.

Company-managed projects

  • To see a project in the Projects > View all projects list, a user must have the Browse Projects project permission or be a site admin.
  • To see a project in the Project dropdown in the Create issue modal (the popup that appears when you click the Create button), you need to have the Create issue permission for that project. 

Important Note for company-managed projects

If you are using either of the following in your project permission scheme, you may be affected by a bug.

  • User custom field value
  • Group custom field value

Team-managed projects

  • It’s not possible to hide a team-managed project from the Projects > View all projects list.
  • To see a project in the Create Work Item modal you need a role with the “Create work iitem” permission.
