How to do it…
To restrict access to projects based on who can or cannot report criterion, you will first
need to enable a special permission type:
1. Open the permission-types.xml file from the <JIRA_INSTALL>/
atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes directory in a text editor.
2. Locate the following lines and uncomment the reportercreate permission
type:
<!-- Uncomment & use this permission to show only
projects where the user has create permission and
issues within that where they are the reporter. -->
<!-- This permission type should only ever be
assigned to the "Browse Projects" permission. -->
<!-- Other permissions can use the "reporter" or
"create" permission type as appropriate. -->
<!--
<type id="reportercreate" enterprise="true">
<class>com.atlassian.jira.security.type.CurrentReporterHasCreatePermission</class>
</type>
-->
3. Restart JIRA for the changes to apply.
Once the reportercreate permission type is enabled, there will be a new Reporter
tab (which shows only projects with create permissions) while working with permission
schemes, as shown in the following screenshot. Projects with permission schemes that use
this option for the Browse Projects permission can only be viewed by users who can create
issues in them.
