Field Configuration

The configuration of each encrypted field allows you to precisely define who can view its content, either statically or dynamically.

To configure a field:

  1. Navigate to the Secure Fortress Dashboard.
  2. Make sure you are in the Fields section (it's the default view).
  3. Locate the field you want to configure in the list and click the Configure button.

Permission Types​

Static Permissions (Groups and Users)​

In the configuration window, you can directly assign viewing permissions to:

  • Jira Groups: Select one or more groups. All their members will be able to see the field's value.
  • Individual Users: Select one or more specific users to grant them access.

Dynamic Permissions (By Role in the Issue)​

This functionality allows you to automatically grant viewing permissions based on the user's role within a specific issue. It is ideal for workflows where access to information depends on who is responsible for the issue.

  • Grant permission to Assignee: If this option is selected, the user who is currently assigned to the issue will have permission to view the field's value.
  • Grant permission to Reporter: If this option is selected, the user who created the issue (the reporter) will always be able to see the field's value.
Note

Dynamic permissions are evaluated in real-time. If an issue is reassigned, the new assignee will gain access, and the previous one will lose it (unless they have permission through another means).

New dynamic permission options

To save any changes to the configuration, click the Save Permissions button.

Any user who does not meet any of the permission rules (neither static nor dynamic) will not be able to see the field's content and will instead see the message [NO ACCESS], as explained in the user guide.
