By default, Structure is accessible to anyone who has Browse permission on structure-enabled projects. You can further restrict this access level to one or more user groups.

To select who can use Structure:

  1. Navigate to Administration | Structure | Configuration.
  2. Click Select Structure Users.
  3. Select whether Structure should be available to anyone or to selected user groups.
  4. In the latter case, change the Selected Groups list by selecting one or more user groups and using Add and Remove buttons.
  5. Click Apply when done.

Which projects are enabled for the Structure also affects Who Has Access to the Structure.

When Structure is enabled for anyone, even anonymous visitors will have access to Structure. To make Structure accessible to only logged in users, restrict access to jira-users group.

Structure plugin maintains a cache of users permissions with regards to each structure. In most cases, the cache is recalculated automatically, but in some cases Structure plugin may miss a change in a user's groups or roles. The result could be that the changed permissions take effect several minutes later (but only with regards to Structure Permissions). A user can force the cache to be recalculated by doing hard refresh from the browser. Typically, it's done by holding Ctrl or Shift or both and clicking the Refresh button.
