Warning

Limiting the visibility of Fields for selected user groups affects only the fields that appear by raising a request on the Customer Portal. The request’s information displayed in Jira is visible to all users with relevant permissions.

That’s why when a service desk agent fills a field in Jira, the field automatically becomes visible in Request Details View to the users of the Customer Portal.

Info

It’s possible to edit or delete your configuration any time by using Actions. Click the Pen icon to edit a particular configuration of Fields or use the Bin icon to delete the configuration.

Fields visibility example

Below you can see the Fields visibility configuration, reflected on the Customer Portal, in which the Attachment field is visible only to the jira-administrators group.

The Customer Portal users who are included in the jira-administrators group can see the Attachment field.
