Besides calculating effective rights for a set of users grouped by a certain criteria, this tab highlights some situations based on the DNA of each family. We call them advices.
Are They are displayed as a warning icon at the end of the project row they applied to or at the end of the global permissions row. To see the effective advice you have to hover over over the warning icon.
This helps you to see useless permissions within projects. For example, it warns you when:
...
- users don’t have Jira Users global permission, but they have some other permissions
...
...
- users have some project-related permission but they don’t have permission to browse that project
...
...
- users can create issues on the project but they can’t see them (they don’t have the Browse Projects permission)
...
When Jira is private, it warns you when group “Anyone” is in Global Permission. This means that even if you don’t want public users to login, Anyone can take advantage of global permissions.
