public interface AttributeSensitivitySettings

Attribute sensitivity settings govern which attributes will be considered sensitive when calculating a multi-row aggregate value (by an aggregate, a propagate, or a scanning loader). This plays a role when a user does not have view access to some of the items in the forest, yet they look at a total or some other aggregate value.

As an example let's consider aggregate attribute Total Story Points, calculating over a folder, which contains issues X, Y, and Z. The current user does not have access to Z, so they only see the folder, X, and Y.

If the aggregated attribute - Story Points - is sensitive, then the value for the folder will be calculated only over those issues that the user can actually observe, in this case, X and Y. Another user, who has access to all issues, will see a total of X, Y, and Z - potentially a different number.

If the aggregated attribute is non-sensitive, the total for the folder will show the same number for all users, even if they don't have access to some of the sub-items. Note that the inaccessible item is not disclosed to the user in any case.

These settings allow Jira admins to set the default mode (see getSensitivityMode()) and exceptions (see getNonSensitiveAttributes()).

    • getSensitivityMode

      @NotNull AttributeSensitivityMode getSensitivityMode()
      Returns the default sensitivity mode.
      Returns:
      sensitivity mode
    • getNonSensitiveAttributes

      @NotNull Set<AttributeSpec<?>> getNonSensitiveAttributes()

      Returns attributes that were explicitly set to be non-sensitive, regardless of the default mode.

      Note that if the mode is AttributeSensitivityMode.PERMISSIVE, this method may still return some attributes, although that will not have any additional effect - everything is non-sensitive by mode.

      Returns:
      a list of attributes set to be non-sensitive
