What information is available on the group summary page?
The group summary page renders a table with counts of related Users, Project Roles, Custom Fields, Permission Schemes, Issue Security Schemes, Notification Schemes, and Workflows in your groups:
What information is available on the group detail page?
The group detail page shows Project Roles, Custom Field references, Permission Schemes, Issue Security Schemes, Notification Schemes, Workflows, and Filter Shares/Edits/JQL related to a group:
The group detail page also has counts of line-item level sub-objects including Permission Scheme Permission, Issue Security Scheme Level, Notification Scheme Event, Workflow Condition, and Filter Share/Edit/JQL.
Can I find filters that are related to my group via plaintext references in their JQL?
Yes, the group debugger page will show you Filters that are related to your group by the appearance of the group name in the JQL text. These relationships will be specifically categorized as Filter Jql Content
in the related objects table.
You’ll also see Filters that are related via Edit/Share permissions to your group (potentially via a transitive Project Role relationship):
The Detail
column also includes the name of the Filter’s owner (e.g. Dorothy Gale
), and its share status.
What does Self
mean in the Related Via
Column of the Related Objects table?
If an object is directly associated to a group, then we consider the related object to be associated to the group via its self (aka Self
). For example, an Issue Security Scheme Level
like Allowed Users Only
can be associated directly to a group.
Some objects can be related to a group transitively via a Project Role
that is - in turn - associated to the group. Those objects Related Via
column will instead list the Project Role
that transitively creates the association between the object and the current group.
Can I export group usage data?
You can export data that shows objects a group is related to. Access the report by clicking on the download icon on the group detail page. The report is formatted in JSON. Reach out to us if you need more help with the export feature.
