This guide explains how to control user access to the OKR for Jira app, ensuring only authorized individuals can view and interact with company objectives and key results.
Key Considerations
Regularly review access permissions: Ensure permissions reflect current personnel and roles to maintain data security and privacy.
Communicate changes clearly: Inform users of any access changes to avoid confusion and ensure everyone understands their permissions.
Restricting App Access
Prevent specific users from seeing OKRs altogether by revoking their app access. Follow these steps:
Access your Jira administration panel and navigate to Settings.
Under the People section, locate and click Global permissions.
On the right side, scroll through the list of permissions until you find View and modify OKRs.
By default, all user groups have this permission. Remove any group you wish to restrict from viewing OKRs by going to the group name and selecting Remove.
App Administration
Admin permissions, as well as other roles, can be configured within the application. However, there is a method to create a super-admin role that is not reliant on the in-app setup. This provides a way to address any permission issues within the app or any other challenges.
Super Admin Role
Within Jira Global permissions, locate and select Administer data of OKRs for Jira.
Grant this permission to specific users or groups who need unrestricted access to manage all aspects of the app, including:
Accessing the app
Creating and managing all data (OKRs, teams, labels, periods, etc.)
Adjusting settings
Setting up permissions and OKR restrictions
Don’t forget to click Save.
Users and groups assigned to this permission will not be able to see and edit OKRs that are restricted to a group of users that doesn’t include them.
