Encrypted Fields allows the creation of encrypted fields by users. However, administrators configure the field to provide necessary controls on which users can view or edit the field.
You can grant permissions to each user individually, selecting them one by one, through groups, roles, or as current reporter and current assignee in different ways.
We offer 4 different types of encrypted fields. They are as follows:
Encrypted Date Field: Allows users to create encrypted fields of type date.
Encrypted Number Field: Allows users to create encrypted fields of type number.
Encrypted Multi-Line Field: Allows users to create encrypted fields of type multiline.
Encrypted Single Line Field: Allows users to create encrypted fields of type single line.
Please remember that you need to have Jira Administrator permissions for the user you are using to configure and create Encrypted Fields.
