Checking project permissions

Available from versions: 2.7.63 3.3.13

Check whether a given user has permission to perform an operation on an issue. This can include workflow properties if required.

Check the permission scheme

boolean hasPermission(String permission, Issue issue, ApplicationUser user) returns true if the permission short name is valid and the user has the permission according to the project permission scheme.

Check the permission scheme and workflow properties

boolean hasWorkflowPermission(String permission, Issue issue, ApplicationUser user) returns true if the permission short name is valid and the user has the permission according to the project permission scheme and any workflow properties for the current workflow status.

Permission short names

The first parameter of the two permission methods takes the “short name” of a project permission. For example, “browse” is the short name of the BROWSE_PROJECTS permission.
