* Visibility of projects and resources depends on the following aspects:

  1. Restrictions in the Resource Management plugin configuration (- initially after setup there are no restrictions).
  2. For creation of assignments only JIRA users assigned to projects will be visible, you can configure labeled content and also get the Jira Portfolio extension from the marketplace to extend the content.
  3. For filtering of assignments only projects / resources for assignments already created will be shown.
