LOL - 2024 and still radio silence from atlassian. They have had 8 YEARS to comment on this and still nothing. Maybe they're aiming for a 2026 fix on this, so we can all celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this ticket!

Still experiencing this bug with Jira Data Center 9.12.2 as follows:

• The Activity Stream gadget is not included in the system dashboard for anonymous users;
• The Activity view in Project summary is showing the following error message to anonymous users:

  This gadget cannot be displayed on your dashboard. This could be due to a licensing problem or an application error. If you need this gadget, contact your administrator for assistance. Otherwise, you can remove it from your dashboard.

See https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Make-activity-stream-visible-to-logged-out-users/qaq-p/2613378 for more details.

Turns out that this issue is still present in Jira 8.7.1 (latest release at the time of this comment) - come on guys, 4 years... a little long in the tooth!

Is this an issue of JIRA moving away from anonymous access of things like dashboards?

jira.spring.io just got bit by this. While I am more concerned about our logged-in users' experience, as an OSS project we do provide anonymous browse and this does make for a very ugly landing page error https://jira.spring.io/projects/SPR/summary.

It would be great if this could be fixed!

I strongly hope this problem can be solved soon.
My open source project needs activity stream for anonymous users.
Thank you.

It's already in our short-term backlog gerson.santos289789508, but we can not provide an accurate ETA until this can be assigned to a developer in one of our team(s).

Please watch the issue, as we will update its status when we can share more information on the progress of a potential fix.

Any ETA on this? Thanks a lot.

We too get this issue in Jira Software 7.1.6. Big long error message.

"25% - affects a minority of users or feature is not regularly used" – Since the users are anonymous, and potentially unlimited, this seems like an odd assessment.

Actually, I'm not sure if my issue is different. I get this error when viewing an individual issue and looking at the Activity tab.
