For more information about the problem, including examples/scenarios of the issue level permissions, please visit the mentioned aforementioned JIRA issue at https://gebsun.atlassian.net/browse/HTT-23

Checking permissions

Project and issue level permissions can be easily retrieved through JIRA REST API. 

In the below example we use curl command in terminal (command line) to send https requests to JIRA.

Sending request to JIRA

Following commands can be used to determine project and issue permissions for a user (please replace userpasswordjira-url, DEMO and DEMO-1 with your JIRA data):

Code Block
languagebash
titleFind project permissions
curl -u user:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://jira-url/rest/api/2/mypermissions?projectKey=DEMO


Code Block
languagebash
titleFind issue permissions
curl -u user:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://jira-url/rest/api/2/mypermissions?issueKey=DEMO-1

Getting the output

The output returned by the above commands is in JSON format and might contain different permissions for a project and an issue inside this project:

Code Block
languagebash
titleProject permission - "true"
"WORK_ON_ISSUES": 
{
            "description": "Ability to log work done against an issue. Only useful if Time Tracking is turned on.",
            "havePermission": true,
            "id": "20",
            "key": "WORK_ON_ISSUES",
            "name": "Work On Issues",
            "type": "PROJECT"
}


Code Block
languagebash
titleIssue permission - "false"
"WORK_ON_ISSUES": {
            "description": "Ability to log work done against an issue. Only useful if Time Tracking is turned on.",
            "havePermission": false,
            "id": "320",
            "key": "WORK_ON_ISSUES",
            "name": "Work On Issues",
            "type": "PROJECT"
}

Please notice "havePermission": true for project versus "havePermission": false for issue in the above output.
