Issue Summary

After setting up a permission scheme that authorizes "Anyone on the Web" to "Browse Projects", then adding projects to that permission scheme, users are prompted to authenticate into Jira if they click on the project specific link

• This can be from the Dashboard > Project Gadget
• This can be from the Projects Menu > View All Projects 

In previous versions of Jira (Jira 8, Jira 9), users could click on the project link and see all the issues associated to the public-project.

Problem Statement:

As an Administrator, I need users to be able to access publicly available projects without being prompted for authentication

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a New Project in Jira with Sample Data
2. Go to Settings > Issues > Permission Schemes
3. Edit a Permission scheme so that the permission "Browse Projects" is set to the Group "Anyone on the Web"
4. Setup the project created in step-1 to use this public-permission scheme
5. Next, add a Project Gadget filtered to these public-projects on the system dashboard
6. After that, open Jira in a new session
7. In the new session:
   • Click on the project links from the projects gadget
   • Click on the projects menu option > view all projects > then click on any project

Expected Results

As the anonymous user, after clicking on any of the project links I should be able to view issues in the project

Actual Results

As the anonymous user, after clicking on any of the project links I am redirected to Jira's login page

Updated on July 29th:-
Same issue is also observed post Jira version 10 when accessing Release pages for the Projects that are publicly accessible.
<Jira-Baseurl>projects/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=<project-id>&version=<release note version-id>

Workaround

As the anonymous user, I can click on the Issues Menu > View All Issues then filter by project to find issues.
