Exam ACP-120 Topic 2 Question 30 Discussion

The system setting'Allow users to share dashboards and filters with the public'in Jira Software Cloud controls whether dashboards and filters marked asPubliccan be accessed by users who are not logged in (i.e., anonymous users). When this setting is turnedOFF, public dashboards and filters become inaccessible to non- logged-in users. The impact is thatusers who are not logged in cannot see Alpha filter(Option C) andusers who are not logged in cannot see Omega dashboard(Option D).
* Explanation of the Correct Answers:
* Users who are not logged in cannot see Alpha filter (Option C):
* TheAlpha filteris marked asPublic, meaning it is accessible to anyone, including non- logged-in users, when the'Allow users to share dashboards and filters with the public' setting isON. Turning this settingOFFdisables public access, so non-logged-in users can no longer view theAlpha filter.
* Exact Extract from Documentation:
Manage public sharing of dashboards and filters
The'Allow users to share dashboards and filters with the public'setting controls whether public dashboards and filters can be accessed by anonymous (non-logged-in) users.
* WhenON, public dashboards and filters are accessible to anyone with the URL, including non-logged-in users.
* WhenOFF, public dashboards and filters are restricted to logged-in users with appropriate permissions (e.g.,Browse Projectsfor filters).To change the setting:
* Go toSettings > System > Sharing.
* ToggleAllow users to share dashboards and filters with the public.Impact:
Turning the settingOFFprevents non-logged-in users from accessing public filters and dashboards.(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage sharing in Jira Cloud")
* Why This Fits: TheAlpha filteris public, and turning off public sharing prevents non- logged-in users from accessing it, making Option C correct.
* Users who are not logged in cannot see Omega dashboard (Option D):
* TheOmega dashboardis marked asPublic, so it is accessible to non-logged-in users when the public sharing setting isON. Turning the settingOFFrestricts access to logged-in users only, meaning non-logged-in users cannot see theOmega dashboard.
* Exact Extract from Documentation:
When the'Allow users to share dashboards and filters with the public'setting is turnedOFF, public dashboards and filters are no longer accessible to anonymous users. Logged-in users with appropriate permissions can still access them.

* Why This Fits: TheOmega dashboardis public, and disabling public sharing prevents non- logged-in users from accessing it, making Option D correct.
* Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* You cannot set Viewers to Public on Beta filter (Option A):
* TheBeta filteris currentlyPrivate, but the ability to set a filter toPublicis controlled by user permissions (e.g.,Share dashboards and filtersglobal permission), not the public sharing setting. Turning off public sharing prevents non-logged-in users from accessing public filters but does not restrict users from setting a filter toPublic. However, even if set to Public, the filter would not be accessible to anonymous users with the settingOFF. This option is misleading and not a direct impact.
* Extract from Documentation:
TheShare dashboards and filtersglobal permission allows users to set filters toPublic. The public sharing setting affects access, not the ability to configure sharing.
(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage global permissions")
* You cannot set Viewers to Private on Alpha filter (Option B):
* TheAlpha filteris currentlyPublic, but users can change its sharing settings toPrivate(or other options like a group or role) regardless of the public sharing setting. The system setting only affects whetherPublicfilters and dashboards are accessible to non-logged-in users, not the ability to set sharing toPrivate. This is not an impact of the change.
* Extract from Documentation:
Users can set filters toPrivate,Public, or other sharing options based on their permissions, independent of the public sharing setting.

* Additional Notes:
* The change requiresJira administratorprivileges to modify the setting inSettings > System > Sharing.
* Logged-in users with appropriate permissions (e.g.,Browse Projectsfor filters, view permissions for dashboards) can still accessAlpha filterandOmega dashboardafter the setting is turnedOFF.
* TheBeta filter(Private) is unaffected, as it was never accessible to non-logged-in users.
