This is way more confusing than it needs to be, but here’s how I was able to grant a Jira user access to only one project in JIRA.

Step 1: Create a new user in the User Management section of the Administrator. For this example, we’re just using username: test and email: [email protected]. Now, remove all of the Groups from this user. This means remove Jira-User and Jira-Developer. Jira-User will give the user access to all projects, which is not what we want. We should now have a user who can’t even login to JIRA good.

Step 8: Logout of JIRA as Administrator. Log back in with the new User. You should only have access to your Project!
