Configuring people settings
People settings control which users can view and configure the report.
Access levels
Access is a required field that specifies the access level for the report. There are three access levels available:
- Open: Any logged-in Jira user can view the report. Only administrators can change report settings.
- Limited: Only specified users or groups can view the report. Only administrators can change report settings.
- Private: Only administrators can view the report or change report settings.
By default, new reports are set to Private.
To change the access level, open the dropdown menu and select the access level you want.
Administrators
Administrators is a required field that is displayed regardless of the report's access level. To allow individual users to change the report's settings, specify them in this field.
- To add a user to the list, start typing their name into the input to search for them, and click their name in the dropdown menu when it appears.
- To remove a user from the list, click the X icon beside their name.
- To clear all users from the list, click the X icon on the right side of the field.
Users
If the access level is set to Limited, the Users field will be displayed. To allow individual users to view the report, specify them in this field.
- To add a user to the list, start typing their name into the input to search for them, and click their name in the dropdown menu when it appears.
- To remove a user from the list, click the X icon beside their name.
- To clear all users from the list, click the X icon on the right side of the field.
Groups
If the access level is set to Limited, the Groups field will be displayed. To allow groups of users to view the report, specify the groups in this field.
- To add a group to the list, start typing the name of the group into the input to search for it, and click the group name in the dropdown menu when it appears.
- To remove a group from the list, click the X icon beside its name.
- To clear all groups from the list, click the X icon on the right side of the field.
Report access vs. data access
The settings described above determine who can access the report, but they do not determine who can access the report's data.
One of the core principles of Limbr Reports' security and privacy model is that Jira's native permissions are always respected. For example, a report might be configured with a specific project as it's data source. Even if the report is set to Open access, a user viewing the report will only see the project's issues reflected in the report if they also have the Jira permissions necessary to view the project's issues.
