Group & Permission Usage for JiraJira Cloud · Atlassian ForgeWhere every group is used, and who can browse each project
Jira Cloud has no report for these. Group & Permission Usage reads your groups, projects, permission schemes, project roles, shared filters and dashboards, and issue security and notification schemes, and puts the answers on one page. It is free and it never changes anything.
What it does
Three questions Jira can't answer on its own
Where is this group used?
Product access, permission schemes, project roles, filter and dashboard shares, issue security levels and notification schemes. Empty groups and groups used nowhere the app can see are flagged, so you can clean up with confidence.
Who can browse this project?
The people the project's permission scheme lets in, with the group, role or grant behind each one. Public projects and projects open to any licensed user are flagged.
What can this person reach?
Look anyone up and see their groups, the products those groups grant, and every project they can browse, with the reason.
Export
One Excel workbook with a summary, groups, projects, scheme grants, shared filters, shared dashboards, security levels and notifications. Or a CSV of the groups.
Built to be safe
What it will never do
The app has no write permission at all, so Atlassian's platform itself prevents it from changing anything. Removing a group or a grant is still your call, in Jira.
Only Jira administrators can open the app or build a report. The app checks this on every request.
No servers of our own and no API key. Reports are stored in Atlassian's storage for your site and never leave it. Names and emails are not stored.
Jira has no API for global permissions, workflow conditions or board admins. The app says so on the page instead of guessing.
