Info

Version 2.2
Added a couple of places where time tracking information is filtered. Added two new permissions.

If time tracking is activated in JIRA and a user has the rights to browse a certain project, there is no way in JIRA to restrict access to time tracking information, i.e. time logged with all description details as well as work estimates and remaining estimates will be visible to a user who has access to issues. Even though you can restrict the right to log work in JIRA, you can't prevent users from seeing time tracking information, and you can't restrict access to the fields "Original estimate" and "Remaining estimate" (these fields appear even of you do not grant the "work on issues" permission).

Infotip

If you want to dive deeper into the question of restricting access to time tracking on "field level", you might want to have a look at the following topics: http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-2364 and http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-27613. There is also a plugin that partly solves the issue (https://plugins.atlassian.com/23216), but this requires a JIRA core patch and still there is a way to get time tracking information if you know how.
