Can we restrict project roles to projects?

[Debraj neogi]

We need to create a new project role on our JIRA prod instance, but do not want that to be visible for all projects. Is there a way we can do this? 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No.  Roles are global.  The whole point of them is that they're there for all projects.

If you define roles that a project does not use, you need to document it and/oe educate your project leads.  "Role X does not do anything in your project, it's for someone else" is usually enough
