This documentation page explains common scenarios for restricting and granting user access to Deep Clone for Jira features. It helps Jira administrators understand how to configure global and project-level permissions to control who can use Single/Epic Clone, Bulk Clone, and Project Clone functionalities.

1. Limit Deep Clone usage to specific users or groups

Restrict Global Permissions:
- Navigate to Jira Settings > System > Global Permissions
- Remove unwanted users/groups from:
  - Deep Clone for Jira – Single/Epic Clone
  - Deep Clone for Jira – Bulk Clone
  - Deep Clone for Jira – Project Clone
Remove any Project Permissions:

- Ensure users don’t have any Deep Clone project permissions in unwanted projects

2. Show Deep Clone only in selected Jira projects

Remove Global Access:

Grant Project-Level Access:
- In each project where the Deep Clone button should appear:
  - Go to Project Settings > Permissions
  - Add Deep Clone for Jira – Single/Epic Clone to the desired roles/groups

3. Certain users should be able to clone projects using templates, even without Jira project creation permissions

Grant Global Permission:
- Go to Jira Settings > System > Global Permissions
- Ensure the user or group has:
  - Deep Clone for Jira – Project Clone
No additional Jira project creation permission is required.

4. Only selected users should be able to Bulk Clone work items

Limit Global Permission:

- Restrict Deep Clone for Jira – Bulk Clone to specific users or groups
