Controlling Who Sees Your External Share for Confluence and Jira Links


https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/external-share-selected-users

You may be familiar with the feature that dropped, not too long ago, over at External Share for Confluence, offering a robust extra layer of security for your data. Well, now our Jira counterparts can enjoy the same hardy feature at External Share for Jira.

Companies have been asking us for a way of restricting which users can see their External Share links. Previously, you could create a secure link to your Confluence page or Jira issue and share it with a chosen person outside your instance. That link was always safe from a randomer on the internet finding it, thanks to its unguessable 16-character URL. It could be protected further by adding a password, making the page or issue inaccessible to anyone without it.

However, there was nothing to stop the person you share the link with from passing it on to someone else. Even if it’s password-protected, that person could just share the password and the other user would be able to get access. This, of course, gave way to a rather prevalent security limit, which has been taken to task and is now a thing of the past. With the ‘Selected users’ function for your Confluence and Jira instance, you no longer need to fret about security breaches.

This powerful feature stops sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. If you have data on a Confluence page or Jira issue that you want to make sure goes no further than the external user/s you’re sending it to, then you can easily restrict the visibility of the page to just those select few users.

Let’s walk through how to do this! Connect with us today:
