Summary

The purpose of this article is to show how to retrieve a list of projects that have Anonymous Access, which means Browse Project permission is granted to the group Anyone on the web. There are multiple tables involved in the SQL queries to get this information. 

Workaround

  • Log into the Jira database

  • Run the following SQL command:

    SELECT p.id, p.pname, ps.name FROM project p
    INNER JOIN nodeassociation na ON
    p.id = na.source_node_id
    INNER JOIN schemepermissions sp ON
    na.sink_node_id = sp.scheme
    INNER JOIN permissionscheme ps ON
    na.sink_node_id = ps.id
    WHERE na.source_node_entity = 'Project'
    AND na.sink_node_entity = 'PermissionScheme'
    AND sp.permission_key='BROWSE_PROJECTS'
    AND sp.perm_type='group' 
    AND sp.perm_parameter is null

    (info) This SQL is only tested on PostgreSQL. For other database, the SQL may need to be altered to suit the syntax.

  • The result would be, for example:

       id  | pname |                     name
    -------+-------+------------------------------------------------------
     10200 | MOGA1 | Default Permission Scheme
     10000 | TEST  | Default Permission Scheme
     10101 |  SD2  | Jira Service Management Permission Scheme for Project SDT
