JIRA Scheme
A JIRA scheme is a collection of values that can be used in one or more JIRA projects. And that is the strength of the scheme. A configuration you’ve been working on for a long time can be done once. As soon as the next project with the best configuration is created, you can apply the created scheme to the new project with just a few clicks.
Some schemes that apply to the entire JIRA project or all issue types within the project are:
- Issue Type Scheme: What issue types (Bug, Feature) can be used in a JIRA project?
- Notification Scheme: Who receives what email when the content of the issue changes?
- Permission Scheme: Who can do what to an issue?
- Issue Security Scheme: Who can see specific issues?
Let us see some of these in more detail.
Issue Type Scheme
Jira administrators can group issue types into issue-type schemas to make it easier for teams to select the right type when creating issues in a project. Even when managing multiple projects, the transactional scheme minimizes maintenance effort.
The issue type schema allows you to:
- Specifying Issue Types Available in a Project.
- Setting Default Issue Types and Issue Type Orders When Creating Issues.
- Sharing the Same Set of Issue Types Across Multiple Projects.
As an example, you can use the problem type schema set up for a development team working on a software project. You can then add defect and feature issue types to this schema and apply it to all other projects containing similar work.
Issue Security Scheme
You can create issue security levels within an issue security scheme to control who can see specific issues. Associating an issue security scheme with a project allows you to apply that security level to issues in that project. Subtasks inherit the security level of their parent task. You must be a JIRA Cloud administrator to configure issue-level security.
Steps to Create an Issue Security Scheme:
- Select settings -> Issues.
- Under Issue Attributes, select Issue Security Scheme.
- Click Add Issue Security Scheme.
- Enter the requested details and click Add.
Add Security Levels to Issue Security Scheme:
- Select settings -> Issues.
- Under Issue Attributes, select Issue Security Scheme.
- Click the scheme name or the Security Level link in the Actions column.
- Enter the requested details and click Add Security Level.
