Permissions & Access

As of this moment, there’s a way to configure the custom permissions scheme for Smart Checklist add-on directly. Or you can choose for Smart Checklist to emulate the permissions configured in your Jira Permission Scheme within your projects.

Jira Permission Scheme patterns for Smart Checklist are the following:

  • Users with "Browse Projects" Only permission will be able to browse issues and see Smart Checklist content in these issues. They will not be able to bring any changes to checklists though.

  • Users with "Edit Issue" permission will be able to modify checklists (mark items as done/undone; edit items content, add/ delete items, etc.)

  • Users with "Administer Projects" permissions can create/modify templates and set them as default.

Access for Anonymous users

There might be cases when Jira Project and Smart Checklist need to be accessed by Anonymous users.

Anonymous Access

This part of the instructions is applicable to Smart Checklist v4.16 and below.

All users of Smart Checklist version 5.0.0. and higher have to be logged in to see the checklist content.
