Request participants are customers and groups and organizations, who can view,
comment, and receive notifications about a request. Participants receive the
same notifications as the reporter and can turn off notifications at any time.
You might add request participants so they can provide more information about a
request, or to notify them of a request's progress.

Both agents and customers can add and remove request participants. Who customers
can add as participants depends on the project's customer permissions settings.
Read Managing access to your service project to learn more.





ADD PARTICIPANTS TO A PROJECT

To add participants to a project:

 1. From the sidebar, select Project settings > Users and roles, then select Add
    users to a role.
 2. Enter the participant's email address, group, or organization name, choose
    their role type, then select Add.

Request participants follow issue-level security schemes. For example, if an
administrator customizes requests so that only reporters can view them, then
request participants won't be able to view the request. Administrators can refer
to the instructions in Configuring issue-level security to update the issue
security scheme.





ADD PARTICIPANTS TO AN ISSUE

Requests participants can only be added if they have access to the project.
Change your customer permissions to set who can access your service desk
project.

To add a participant to a request:

 1. Open the issue you want to add a request participant to.
 2. Select the Request participants, Groups, or Organizations field on the right
    side of the issue view.
 3. Enter the participant's details, then click the tick.

When you add a request participant they receive an email notifying them that
they are participating in the request, depending on the project's notification
settings.

The following image shows the request participants in the issue view:







ADD PARTICIPANTS IN THE CUSTOMER PORTAL

Customers in an organization can share requests when they raise them. If a
customer belongs to only one organization, the request is shared with it by
default unless you've changed the default settings to keep all new requests
private. Requests can be also marked as Private Requests before submitting the
request. If the customer is in more than one organization, the request is
private by default.

You can choose whether new requests are private or shared by default. To do so,
go to Administration > Applications > Jira Service Management Configuration, and
change the setting in the Organization management section.

If you want to share a request with only some participants, you can add them to
your request.

If you’re an agent, here’s how to add a participant to a request:

 1. From the sidebar, select Raise a request. 
 2. Fill out the request form, select Create.
 3. Select Share from the right side panel, enter the name, email address, or
    organization in the Share this request field.
 4. Select Share.

If you’re a customer, here’s how to add a participant to a request:

 1. Access the customer portal from the link provided.
 2. Fill out the request form, select Create.
 3. Select Share from the right side panel, enter the name, email address, or
    organization in the Share this request field.
 4. Select Share.

Participants will receive an email notifying them that they are participating in
the request depending on the project's notification settings. The participants
will appear under the Shared with section in the request.

The following image shows the request participants in the customer portal
request view:




ADD PARTICIPANTS BY MENTIONING THEM VIA THE CUSTOMER PORTAL

You can also add participants by mentioning them in the description or comments.
They will be immediately added as a participants and will receive a notification
about it (if the Participant added notification is enabled).

 * Agents: You can mention anyone in the project.

 * Customers: You can mention any user that you're allowed to add as a Request
   Participant.

Actions via the customer portal won't result in any Jira mention notification
emails.


ADD PARTICIPANTS THROUGH EMAIL

Customers in an organization can share requests when they raise them. If a
customer belongs to only one organization, the request is shared with it by
default unless you've changed the default settings to keep all new requests
private. Requests can be also marked as Private Requests before submitting the
request. If the customer is in more than one organization, the request is
private by default.

You can choose whether new requests are private or shared by default. To do so,
go to Administration > Applications > Jira Service Management configuration, and
look at Organization management.

If you want to share a request with only some participants, you can add them to
your request.

To add participants through email:

 1. Add the participant's email address to either the TO or CC fields.

The participant will receive an email notification that you added them depending
on the project's notification settings.





ADD WATCHERS

Agents can involve other agents or Jira users to get help with an issue. For
example, you might want Jira Software developers to help analyze a bug that a
customer has reported.

To involve other users, add them as watchers:

 1. Open the issue you want to add a watcher to.
 2. Select the Watchers field to the right side, under People. 
 3. Select the number count, then enter the name or email address in the Add
    watchers field. The user picker in the field will only list users who have
    access to the project the issue belongs to.



Watchers are notified about internal activity on an issue, and can communicate
with you via internal comments.
