Delta Guard: Protected field history and email configuration

Delta Guard stores the history of changes made to the protected fields in a private table to ensure data security. This is necessary to avoid sensitive data exposure via different Jira modules relying on public history.

For the same reason updates to protected fields are excluded from email notifications.

However, starting from 2.1.2 version the plugin offers a configuration option to make field change history public and include updates in email notifications under specific conditions:

• Anyone Allow View permission is granted.

• No Deny View permissions set (though Deny Edit permissions may still apply).

• com.dsr.atlassian.jira.cfprotector.darkfeature.publichistoryforviewany dark feature is enabled.

When these conditions are met, the plugin will:

• Create a public history for field changes.

• Send email notifications about those changes.

To enable this functionality for particular field, ensure the following:

1. Grant the Anyone Allow View permission.

2. Remove any Deny View permissions.

3. Activate com.dsr.atlassian.jira.cfprotector.darkfeature.publichistoryforviewany dark feature via Manage dark features in Jira Data Center | Jira and Jira Service Management | Atlassian Support
