Remove the \"anyone\" and cut it all down to logged-in known users.\n\nThe workflow transitions are a similar principle, but you need to look in a different place.

So you can display a list of issues from JIRA in Confluence.\n\nThen you would create Issues for your requirements. An issue type requirement sounds like a great idea :-) You have to decide if you want to enable other issue types for the same project, too. I would suggest to do so. Then you would have all requirements, bugs and tasks within the same project where they belong to.\n\nUnfortunately JIRA does not create different issue keys for different issue types.
