How to make a project
'Read-Only' in Jira
If you make a project read-only, the project will be visible
via the 'Administration' menu, and will appear in the 'Browse Projects' list.
The project's issues will be searchable and viewable, but no one will be able
to modify them.
Below are 3 simple steps by which you can make your project
Read-Only in Jira. You need Administrator rights in Jira in order to make below
changes.
- Create a new permission scheme. Grant the 'Browse Project' permission to everyone who needs to be able to search or browse the project, or view its issues. Leave all of the other permissions empty.
- Associate the new permission scheme with the project.
- To prevent workflow transitions from happening you will need to update the workflow and add a condition to each transition. The conditions should check that a user has the Edit Issues permission.
