Team permissions and email notification rules for Data Center
General information
Notifications are sent to users, if an issue was updated, assigned to another user, etc. The same logic works for standard Jira work logs. If a work log is created, updated, or deleted, a notification is sent to recipients according to the notification scheme of a project.
Our app contains secured work logs logic and features, that are not available in Jira (f.e. the possibility to add a work log to another team member). That is why we have implemented a custom notification scheme.
Example of email notification for the default notification scheme
Work log created
Team work log | Case | Recipients |
|---|---|---|
Yes | Worklog author is current user Example: I as a team member log my spent time | Watchers, creators and assignees who have “view team member work logs“ permissions in chosen team |
Yes | The worklog author is not the current user (work log is added on behalf of this user) Example: I as a team lead log hours of a team member |
|
No | The work log author is the current user Example: I log time outside of any team | Watchers, creators and assignees |
Work log updated
Team work log | Case | Recipients |
|---|---|---|
Yes | The work log author is the current user Example: I as a team member edit my own work log | Watchers, creators and assignees, who have “view team member work logs“ permissions in chosen team |
Yes | The work log author is not the current user (work log is added on behalf of this user) Example: I as a team lead edit a work log of a team member |
|
No | The work log author is the current user Example: I edit a work log that wasn’t assigned to any team | Watchers, creators and assignees |
Work log deleted
Team work log | Case | Recipients |
|---|---|---|
Yes | The work log author is the current user Example: I as a team member delete my own work log | Watchers, creators and assignees, who have “view team member work logs“ permissions in chosen team |
Yes | The work log author is not the current user (work log is added on behalf of this user) Example: I as a team lead delete a work log of a team member |
|
No | The work log author is the current user Example: I delete a work log outside of any team | Watchers, creators and assignees |
How can I change the notification logic?
Please contact your Jira administrator. We use the Jira notification scheme. If the notification scheme is changed for a project, notifications will be sent according to the updated scheme.
F.e. Jira administrator can exclude All Watchers from the scheme. In this case, watchers will not get notifications even if they are watchers of an issue, where a work log was added to a team, where they have view team members' work logs permission level.
