      Summary

      Inform user that software features are accessible only by licensed users

      Steps to Reproduce

      this is an example using the View Development Tools permission:

      1. enable Jira integration with GitHub
      2. for permission scheme, set "Group: Anyone" to both Browse Projects and View Development Tools
      3. view the issue by anonymous user

      Expected Results

      an anonymous user can view the development panel

      Actual Results

      an anonymous user can't view the development panel

      Problem Definition

      Access to software features are limited to licensed users though you can set the permission to "Group: Anyone".

      So, when you set a permission which requires license(like View Development Tools) to "Group: Anyone", the result will be the same as setting this to "Application Access: Any logged in user"

      This is difficult to understand intuitively.

      Suggested Solution

      Either of the following:

      • show a message that setting "User:Anyone" for the permission which requires license will still restrict the access to "Application Access: Any logged in user"
      • don't show the "User:Anyone" option for permissions which require software license
