Group permission can be controlled at the global level. If users are in the group that does not has access to the app, all the menu below won’t be visible to these users.

Edit on the issue navigator.
Project Permission Limitation
Project permission can only be restricted at the project level. The spreadsheet option won’t be visible on the project bar. However, users can still search for this Jira project using JQL in advanced issue search or in our JQL Editor. This is a technical limitation that we can’t avoid.
