Delta Guard: Protection configuration

Delta Guard: Protection configuration

Delta Guard provides the following options for configuring protection:

  • Permission type - determines whether to Allow or Deny a particular type of access to the field.

  • Access - specifies the type of access to grant—either View or Edit.

  • Granted to - selects the entity to which the permission is granted:

    • Anyone - any Jira user, including anonymous users

    • User - specific Jira user

    • Group - specific group of users

    • User field value - grants permissions based on the value of a specific custom field of the User Picker (single or multiple) type
      For example, edit permission can be granted to the current Assignee of the issue.

    • Group field value - grants permissions based on the value of a specific text custom field that contains the group name
      For example, you may have a field containing the name of the group you'd like to grant access to your protected field data. These group names can vary between different issues.

Add button adds configured permissions.

Example configuration

Let’s imagine you need to restrict general access to the field, providing edit access only to the current Assignee or Jira Administrators, and view access to users in the Reviewers field.

The configuration of your protected field would look like this (it’s quite simple, isn’t it?):
