Roles Usage for Jira

Part of Config Insights for Jira, a comprehensive Config Audit Toolkit for Jira


Built on Atlassian Forge. Designed for Scale. Built for Jira Administration.

Available for Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC)

Roles Usage for Jira is available for Atlassian Government Cloud environments.

Built entirely on Atlassian Forge, the application operates without external servers, external databases, third-party data processing, or customer data egress outside Atlassian infrastructure.

This architecture simplifies security reviews and supports organizations with strict governance, compliance, and procurement requirements.


Know Exactly Who Has Access Before You Change Permissions

Every Jira administrator eventually receives questions such as:

  • Which users have access to this project? 
  • Which projects does this user have access to? 
  • Which groups are assigned to this role? 
  • Who received permissions through a project role? 
  • Which projects are affected if we change this role? 
  • Which inactive users still hold project roles? 
  • Which groups have been granted excessive access? 
  • How can we audit role assignments across the entire Jira instance? 

The answers exist in Jira.

Finding them does not.

Jira stores role assignments across projects, users, groups, and project roles, making it difficult to understand who has access to what without manually investigating multiple projects.

For a single project, this may be manageable.

For hundreds or thousands of projects, it quickly becomes an audit and governance challenge.

Roles Usage for Jira provides complete visibility into role assignments across your Jira environment.


Built to Solve a Real Jira Administration Problem

A common request from management, security teams, auditors, and project owners sounds simple:

"Show me everywhere this user has access."
 

Or:

"Show me every user and group assigned to this role."
 

Surprisingly, Jira does not provide an easy way to answer these questions globally.

Administrators often find themselves opening projects one at a time and manually reviewing People settings, project roles, and group assignments.

As Jira environments grow, this process becomes increasingly time-consuming and error-prone.

Roles Usage for Jira was built to eliminate that manual investigation process.


Jira Knows the Access Model. It Doesn't Expose the Relationships.

Jira contains all role assignment information.

What Jira does not provide is a centralized view of those relationships.

Administrators are often forced to manually reconstruct connections such as:


Project-Centric View

Project → Role → User / Group
 

User-Centric View

User / Group → Role → Project
 

These relationships are critical for:

  • Access reviews 
  • Governance initiatives 
  • Security audits 
  • User onboarding 
  • User offboarding 
  • Permission investigations 
  • Compliance reporting 

Roles Usage for Jira automatically reconstructs these relationships and presents them in a single report.


Visualize Role Assignments Across Jira

Roles Usage for Jira provides bi-directional visibility into project role assignments.


Project → Role → User

Understand:

  • Which users belong to each role 
  • Which groups belong to each role 
  • How access is assigned within projects 
  • Role composition across the organization 


User → Role → Project

Understand:

  • Which projects a user can access 
  • Which roles grant that access 
  • Cross-project assignment patterns 
  • Potential permission risks 

This dual perspective helps administrators quickly answer access-related questions without navigating multiple Jira administration screens. 


Stop Auditing Access Manually

Without Roles Usage for Jira, administrators often need to:

  1. Open a project. 
  2. Navigate to People. 
  3. Review project role assignments. 
  4. Check assigned users. 
  5. Check assigned groups. 
  6. Move to the next project. 
  7. Repeat the process again and again. 

And then repeat the exercise when auditing another user, role, or group.

Roles Usage for Jira centralizes this information into a searchable, filterable, exportable view.

What previously required hours of manual investigation can now be completed in minutes.


Understand the Impact Before Changing Permissions

Access management should never rely on guesswork.

Before modifying project roles, administrators need answers.

Roles Usage for Jira helps answer critical questions:

  • Which projects will be affected? 
  • Which users will lose access? 
  • Which groups are involved? 
  • Are inactive users still assigned? 
  • Are permissions aligned with governance requirements? 
  • Is access being granted through unexpected role assignments? 

The result is lower security risk, stronger governance, and greater confidence when managing Jira permissions.


Built for Governance, Security, and Compliance

Project roles are one of the most important building blocks of Jira security.

As Jira environments grow, role assignments become increasingly difficult to manage and audit.

Organizations frequently need to support:

  • Access reviews 
  • Security audits 
  • Compliance reporting 
  • User offboarding 
  • Role cleanup initiatives 
  • Governance programs 
  • Separation of duties reviews 
  • Permission investigations 

Roles Usage for Jira provides the visibility required to execute these initiatives efficiently and accurately.


Identify Access Risks Before They Become Problems

Over time Jira environments accumulate:

  • Inactive users with project access 
  • Excessive permissions 
  • Legacy role assignments 
  • Unused groups 
  • Poorly documented access structures 
  • Permission inconsistencies across projects 

Roles Usage for Jira helps administrators identify and understand these relationships before they become governance or security concerns.


Built for Large Jira Environments

As Jira environments grow, understanding role assignments becomes increasingly difficult.

Roles Usage for Jira was designed for organizations managing:

  • Dozens of projects 
  • Hundreds of projects 
  • Thousands of users 
  • Large numbers of groups and role assignments 

Whether you are auditing a single project or an enterprise-wide Jira deployment, the application provides the visibility required to understand access relationships quickly and accurately.


Data First Design

Built for Analysis, Not Just Viewing

Access data is only valuable if it can be analyzed efficiently.

Roles Usage for Jira presents role assignments in a structured row-and-column format familiar to:

  • Jira Administrators 
  • Security Teams 
  • Governance Teams 
  • Compliance Teams 
  • Internal Auditors 
  • Platform Owners 

The same structure is preserved during export.


Ready for Your Reporting Ecosystem

Export results directly into:

  • Microsoft Excel 
  • Power BI 
  • Tableau 
  • Google Sheets 
  • SQL Databases 
  • AI-Powered Analytics Platforms 

No manual cleanup.

No relationship mapping.

No data restructuring.

Use the information immediately.


Part of Config Insights for Jira

Roles Usage for Jira is part of Config Insights for Jira, a comprehensive Config Audit Toolkit for Jira.

Together, the applications help administrators understand configuration relationships, permissions, dependencies, and usage patterns across Jira.


Make Jira Configuration Visible

Understand who has access.

Understand how access is granted.

Understand the impact before making changes.

Zero Data Egress. Zero Additional Infrastructure.

Many governance and audit solutions require exporting user and permission data to external systems for analysis.

Roles Usage for Jira runs entirely on Atlassian Forge.

  • No external servers 
  • No external databases 
  • No customer data stored outside Atlassian 
  • No third-party data processing 
  • No additional infrastructure to manage 

Your Jira role and permission information remains inside Atlassian's security boundary.

For organizations with strict governance, compliance, security, procurement, internal audit, or AGC requirements, this significantly simplifies security reviews and procurement processes.


Secure by Design

Built on Atlassian Forge

Security is a core design principle.

Roles Usage for Jira is built entirely on Atlassian Forge and runs natively within Atlassian infrastructure.

This Forge-native architecture simplifies security reviews, reduces compliance friction, and supports organizations with strict governance and regulatory requirements.
