Which issues Reporters will see on their tabs depends on JQL-filter of the tab from one side and from project permission schema on the other side.

HD users can see only that issues, which they have permissions on: Browse project permission & permissions based on Issue Security.

If administrator don't restrict permissions based on Issue Security HD users will be able to see any issue from the project, where they have Browse Project permissions.

Even if this issue is not on any tab, users will be able to see it by direct link in a browser.


Not only JQL can be placed in 'Tab JQL' field but also text or HTML no longer than 255 symbols. For example you can place web link on tab and any logged in  user will see it.
