Sharing issue data in JIRA to external partners can be hard

​

Several problems arise. LDAP/Firewall/VPN/Signon/Permissions etc. needs to be set up by the IT-department.

This plugin avoids that, by leveraging a custom web service between JIRA and the end user (e.g. partner or stakeholder).

​

Essentially, the plugin makes the following possible:

​

1. A JIRA User opens e.g. a sprint view, backlog or kanban view. (A use case could be a Scrum project owner that wants to show sprint data to a customer.
    

2. He clicks the Secure Shares button (top right menu) og clicks "share sprint". Using a wizard he can choose which field data to share, and set an expiry time. He can also give a name and description (which will be shown to the end user). Finally a link is created on the form https://ssfj.io/jiraname/1f89ah2#secretkey.
    

3. The JIRA User emails the link to the end user. Or ideally, he transmit it over a secure connection.
    

4. The end user opens the link in a browser. The issues shared are now presented in a table. The user can click on a issue key to get more details.

Benefits

​

There are several advantages using this solution.

​

• The IT department can now focus on other stuff than using time on opening up for external user. This also goes for the JIRA administrator, which avoids screwing up permission schemes and such.
   

• The end user does not need to log into a VPN connection or JIRA. He simply opens a link.

Supported Applications
