Is it possible to make automations on workspace basis instead of user basis?

[William Haagensen Knudsen]

We copy the same board every month and each of us have made different automations. Sometimes some of us aren't here, so if some forget to share, it could be a problem.

I have seen other people talk about making an automation user that people can use to create automations, but there has to be a smarter option than to pay for yet another license just to have automations gathered in one place

SORRY GUYS THOUGHT I WAS ON TRELLO COMMUNITY

Hi, @William Haagensen Knudsen 

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Not sure that I understood context about copying boards correctly. Usually there is one/few board, and only filters are changed (if required).

About automation user:
Creating a new service user for automations is an optional step. Many people do it if they prefer not to use the built-in "Automation for Jira" user, due to some limitations of built-in user.

In your case, you can safely use the default built-in user, which already has access to the entire instance by default.

HI @William Haagensen Knudsen 

Welcome to the community.

Why are you coping a board every month?

A board is based on a filter, can you explain what the need is to cpouy a board every month?

Only users with the role administrator on the project can create automations, why does anyone have this permission (this is what I read from your question)

Can you provide some more context and screenshots?
