 Description  « Hide
At the moment you can't filter by security level which would be a useful feature if you are using Security Levels as Sub-Projects.

The filtering for security levels would have lots of uses - I can imagine a filter called "Find all bugs visible to general public"

Any chance of seeing this any time soon?


Jeff Turner [Atlassian] added a comment - 05/Oct/04 08:44 PM
I think this could be implemented as a custom field now.

Gerd Gueldenast added a comment - 11/Mar/05 03:10 AM
What's going on with this issue?

Is there a chance to have it with version 3.2? At least it doesn't look that hard to implement and it would be really really useful.


Jami Bradley added a comment - 25/May/05 03:42 PM
We are using security levels to control customer access, and a filter on this would help us view the issues by customer.

Adam Cameron added a comment - 08/Jun/05 10:15 AM
Just to put in my oar here... I'm trying to do the same thing as Sulka Haro, so could use this feature.

Cheers.


Anton Mazkovoi [Atlassian] added a comment - 09/Jun/05 08:26 PM
Just would liek to mention that it is possible to add the Security Level to your Navigator Columns list and tehn sort the results by it. I know this is not the best solution.

Mark Woon added a comment - 04/Aug/05 03:33 PM
I'd really like to see this as well. Any chance this can be snuck into 3.3?

Nick Menere [Atlassian] added a comment - 05/Aug/05 12:02 AM
Sorry Mark,
3.3 is due out any day now and no new features will be added to it. I am guessing 3.4 dev is starting on Monday. Though keep in mind we concentrate on the most popular features for releases:
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:popularissues-panel

3.4 has already been scoped and this change is not in but we will consider it for the next release.

Cheers,
Nick


Maciej Dragan added a comment - 05/Aug/05 01:45 AM
Four more votes and this issue will be in popular issue list too I also would be happy to see this feature in next release.

Bettina Zucker added a comment - 03/Jul/06 07:31 AM
Now it is in the popular issue list!

Thank you,

Jeff - why is the component Custom Fields? Security Level is a standard field, isn't it?

Neal Applebaum added a comment - 12/Aug/06 09:24 AM
should be "Filtering & Indexing"

Jeff Turner [Atlassian] added a comment - 13/Aug/06 10:23 PM
Yes, "filtering and indexing" is better. It could be implemented as a new custom field type, hence the component.

Anthony Atkins added a comment - 18/Jan/07 11:04 AM
This is a sorely needed feature. We use security levels to tag issues for review by our security working group, and we really have no good way to see the whole range of security issues at a glance.

Dan Bennett added a comment - 22/Feb/07 03:18 PM
I also use Security Levels for tagging issues to customers. It would be very helpful to have this functionality.

Ray Oei [Furore] added a comment - 20/Jun/07 08:33 AM
I agree. But make it also possible to filter with and/or (in secgroup x and secgroup or secgroup z)

Nick Jansen added a comment - 11/Sep/07 03:20 AM
When will this feature be available? I realy need this.

Lukas Bucher added a comment - 11/Oct/07 02:40 AM
We would also like to havbe this function. The number of Sub-Projekts is growing fast and the number of user groups with various security levels is increasing. Therefore this filter would ease work quite a bit.

Gruss,

Lukas


Aleksandar Cvetkovic added a comment - 11/Oct/07 03:00 AM
For us this functionality is also very important. We already have 72 votes and the implementation should not be too complicated, should it?

... 3.4 has already been scoped and this change is not in but we will consider it for the next release.

Dear Atlassian Team, for what future release are you going to consider the change? The issue is still unassigned...


Pierrick added a comment - 11/Oct/07 08:37 AM
HI,

As a workaround I have published this plugin: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/ILOG+Security+Level+Searcher+Plugin

Cheers
Pierrick.


Dom D'Alessandro added a comment - 11/Oct/07 09:56 AM
Any update on this functionality being built in.

I haven't tried the plug-in yet, but I shouldn't have to, at least not for security related features. It's hard enough to keep up with the rapid jira releases as it is (if you fall too far behind, it's a nightmare), and then to test all the plugins for compatibility and functionality.

This feature was requested back in version 2.5.3.... 3.11 is out... over 40 releases and this hasn't been addressed yet?

I'm going to try out the plug-in, but once again... I shouldn't have to.

-Dom


Marc Duerst added a comment - 24/Oct/07 02:44 AM
Hi there,

We are interested in this issue as well because we use the "Security Type" in some Jira-Projects to map the different kind of contracts we have with the customer. These contracts are security relevant. eg. Technical People of a customer should not see their business-issues but the technical issues.

Just some personal thoughts:
I am a little surprised that people are requesting this (from a developer point of view) little issue since 3.5 years and 40 releases but Atlassian did not implement it yet even if it is already available as a 3rd party plug-in that was built because of missing functionality. This sounds kind of strange to me as a prospective buyer and long time user. At least Atlassian could (try to) integrate the 3rd party plug-in because I think this is general functionality that really should be shipped with the basic product. It is not a freaky wish of a little audience - I would say. So hopefully we will see this in a future Jira release.

Thanks a lot to Pierrick for the plug-in. I've installed it and it seems to work OK even if one can not select one of the Security Levels but need to type in its name (or part of it). This is a little tricky to explain to the regular user but is better than not having this functionality.

Cheers, Marc


Florian Ortner added a comment - 15/Feb/08 05:25 AM
We are using the security level to maintain a knowledgebase (published = customers, published internal = technical sales, etc.). We're unable to define filters and thus, no chance to know what issues need work or need to be revised after each release. This is getting more and more time consuming as the sheer number of issues increases.

I'll ask our IT to have a look at Pierrick's plugin... thanks for the pointer.


Chris Jackson added a comment - 01/Apr/08 10:39 AM
I find it disturbing that core issues like this one go ignored for, quite literally, years while many people continue to request it. While I appreciate Pierrick's plugin, it needs more features. Thank god it works in 3.12 or I'd be shrugging at our developers here.

What does it take to bump missing features up the list, a mass of votes and watchers? This and the subtask missing security issue should both be fixed prior to 4.0 which is probably years away.


Erin Spiceland added a comment - 19/May/08 09:21 AM
We are looking to use this too. We're running JIRA 3.12.3 Enterprise with a Commercial license.

Daniel Guerrero added a comment - 22/May/08 10:40 PM
We are also looking for this feature. I need to make some bulk changes on filtered issues by security level. And also waiting for some years ...

Christian Ebert added a comment - 11/Jul/08 07:58 AM
This missing feature makes it very hard for us to manage issues of several large customers. I can not believe that this has not been adressed for 4 years now.

Vishal J added a comment - 23/Jul/08 04:08 AM
I also use Security Levels for tagging issues to customers. It would be very helpful to have this functionality.

4+ years on this issue, but still not get fixed. Please get it fix soon...... [;)]


Igor Sereda added a comment - 23/Jul/08 04:26 AM
If plug-in written by Pierrick doesn't solve this for you, you can try JIRA Client of ours (not free). It can search and show distribution by Security Level.

My apologies for the shameless commercial.


Bob Zasuly added a comment - 03/Nov/08 06:47 PM
We have essentially a "public housing" project whereby we provide users around the company a quick and generic issue tracking project (as an interim solution until we can build a custom one). To do this, we separate them using security levels. Some users have more than one affiliation (i.e., Security Level) so they want to be able to filter by Security Level.

Add my vote to the list.


Alexandre Gers added a comment - 11/Dec/08 05:44 AM
I'm working on an EC project and filtering issues on the "Security Level" would have been very usefull.

Xavier Walker added a comment - 20/Jan/09 04:45 AM
Filtering by security level is also very important for us. We need to be able to quickly sort whether a particular bug is known or reported by the customer or whether it's an internal only issue.

I've voted for this to be sorted too.


Justin Cook added a comment - 10/Mar/09 11:09 PM
Same as lots of folks here – we use security level to represent customer and allow access by customer. Ridiculous that we pay for maintenance and then use a freebie plugin.

Dave Donnelly [SEL] added a comment - 17/Mar/09 04:24 AM
Nice one on the fix version Atlassian - this will be very useful!

Bjarni Ivarsson added a comment - 05/May/09 10:28 AM
Wow, we bought JIRA a couple of weeks ago and very soon we ran into this limitation. It's hard to believe this issue has been open for 5 years.

Does anyone know if the plugin works on 3.13.2??


Bob Zasuly added a comment - 05/May/09 11:13 AM
One workaround, of sorts, that I used is to correlate components with security levels. Every security level = a component. This allows my users to search by component, therefore security level.

Obviously, this limits the use of components and if you need to define multiple components for eac security level it won't work.

I can't imagine why it would be hard to add the SL field to the search criteria. It sounds like it might be just limited resources rather than technical limits???

i can not understand that this issue is still unassigned.
