DGJ Server: Template permissions

You can restrict use of any template by editing its access rights. 

To edit template access, click 'Templates'  in Jira main menu. In the list of templates, open template you want to edit, and click 'Edit Access' button (see the screenshot below).


By default, public access is not selected, meaning the template is not available to other users. Nobody but creator will be able to select a template for generation.


A template can be made public, which gives all users in your Jira rights to select it during generation process. It does not give right to edit the template. In example below, everyone can generate document based on selected template, but only users of administrators group can edit the template.


Please note:

An anonymous user is able to generate documents, using the templates with public access when 'Browse projects' permission in Jira is set to Anyone


Alternatively, report generation access can be given to specific groups. To do this, add a group to shared groups list.

Editing right is granted separately by checking the box next to a group name.

Only Jira administrator and creator of the template can edit it from 'Templates' page. According to the screenshot above, only groups administrators, site-admins, and jira-software-users can generate documents from this template. But only template author, administrators, and site-admins groups can edit these templates.
