J-Protect plugin
Ever wondered how to password protect certain administration pages in JIRA from the thousand administrators you have? Or grant access to a user to most admin pages except a few?
J-Protect plugin is designed to protect selected pages in JIRA by configuring passwords for URL patterns. You can configure different passwords for different URLs and share it with the limited number of people whom you trust!
It basically gives you additional control over Administrators and System Administrators without exposing all or no admin features.
Note: This works only for webwork actions for now. In the future, we hope to extend the plugin to cover more things and also restrict pages to selected groups, roles etc based on different rules.
Installation
The plugin can be installed via UPM from Atlassain Marketplace. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/UPM/Installing+Add-ons for more details.
