Accessing data guarded by Jira permissions, roles and groups.
Smart-QL won't give you an access to data you cannot see in JIRA. Jira permissions, roles, groups are supported by Smart-QL. Smart-QL queries will behave just like JQL queries and simple Jira searches - they will return only data user can access to see.
This means that if your Jira contains hundreds of issues but on of your users - John - can access only to five of them then following query will return only five issues:
John will see only five rows of data.
SELECT * FROM issues
When John can access only to three of fifteen projects in your JIRA, then following query will return only three projects:
John will see only three rows in a result
SELECT * FROM projects
The same is for all views available in Smart-QL for querying:
John will see changes only from five issues
SELECT * FROM changes
John will see comments only from five issues
SELECT * FROM comments
The same goes to filters and other Jira objects:
John will see filters only his own and shared with him
SELECT * FROM filters
