Enabling 'Permissions for everyone' is handy for small organizations or evaluating the application. As a result, it is easier to test and learn how things work. However, switching the 'Permissions for everyone' option in a live environment may require more advanced access control. 

When enabled, every logged-in user has the same (Administrative) level of access which includes:

  • Boxes and their content (depending on Jira permissions and security settings)

When you proceed to the App's Administration > Security tab, you will not be able to configure any Security roles:

Note: Permissions for everyone does NOT override Jira permission settings. If a user cannot access a project in Jira, they cannot bypass the lack of permissions using BigPicture.

  • Jira projects

If necessary, adjust Jira project permissions (grant access to users).

  • Has basic access to the App (can access their user profile and see the App dropdown in the header)

  • can access Boxes based on dropdown Box security settings but does not receive access to all Boxes automatically like the App Admin

  • additionally, the user is allowed to administer resource-related global configuration (Administration > Resource manager page with all subpages, with no access to Box types and Security)

  • cannot access the App configuration unless the User is an Admin of the host platform simultaneously.
