Unlike permission schemes, which have a list of predefined permissions, with issue security schemes, you are in full control of how many options you want to add to schemes.
The options within an issue security scheme are known as security levels. These represent the levels of security that users need to meet before Jira will allow them access to the requested issue. Note that, even though they are called security levels, it does not mean that there are any forms of hierarchy among the set of levels you create.
Perform the following steps to configure an issue security scheme:
- Browse to the Issue Security Schemes page.
- Click on the Security Levels link for the issue security scheme you wish to configure. This will bring up the Edit Issue Security Levels page:
From here, you can create new security levels and assign users to existing security levels.
