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
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
