Issue Summary
When users without access to the Jira software application are granted permission to browse, create, and perform specific actions within the JSW project, they face limitations when attempting to change the reporter while creating an issue for the JSM project that originates from the JSW project queues
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new user from the user management
- Grant the JSM application access.
- Add the newly created user to the Project role
- Grant browse/create and some other permissions in the JSW project for the project role assigned to the newly created user.
- Navigate to the JSW project
- Create an issue in the JSM project and attempt to modify the reporter.
Expected Results
Should be able to modify the reporter
Actual Results
Unable to modify the reporter. gets an error "
"You are not authorized to perform this operation. Please log in."
Workaround
As a workaround, we have the following options. Since version 9.11, users must have the Modify Reporter and Browse Projects permissions to interact with the "Reporter" field.
- The most straightforward solution to prevent this pop-up error would be to grant the project administrator Modify Reporter permission.
- In case this is not possible/not desired, you could disable com.atlassian.jira.ignoreBrowseUsersPermissionsInUserPickers feature flag, which will revert permission checker logic to the pre-9.11 version state (please refer to Jira Software 9.11.x release notes - Project permissions get extended configuration for additional details).
