Current Behavior:
When a user is logged out and tries to access a Jira filter via a bookmarked link (or by copy-pasting the URL), they are shown the message:

“We couldn't find this filter
This filter may not exist, or you don’t have permissions to view it. Try searching for another filter, or start a new search.”

This occurs even when the global setting "Allow users to share dashboards and filters with the public" is turned off. The /issues route is viewable by anonymous users, so instead of being prompted to log in, users see the "filter not found" page with only a login option in the top-right corner.

Requested Change:
When a user is logged out and attempts to access a filter (or other private resource like Dashboards) via a direct link, and public sharing is disabled, Jira should redirect the user directly to the login page instead of showing the "filter not found" message. This would provide a clearer experience and reduce confusion, especially for users who expect to be prompted to log in when accessing private content.

Justification:

• Reduces user confusion by making it clear that authentication is required.

• Aligns with user expectations for private resources.

• Improves usability for organizations that don't allow public sharing of filters and dashboards.
