Default Jira Roles as Administrator vs Project Admin

[serge calderara]

Dear all,

I am a bit confused about default role which I can see in Jira.
When I go to System-> Project Roles I can see the following :

1 - Project Admins role
2 - Super Users role
3 - Users role
4 - Administrators role

The last one Administartor role above is state that it has been created automatically by Jira Service Desk to handle administartor and should not be deleted to rename.

Well thats fine, the point where I am confused is the difference between Administrators Roles(4) and Project Admins role(1)

So far we have given access to Project admins by using the Project Admin Role as they can manage project with that role, BUT it seems that they can also manage project using Administrator role

Could you please clarify the following :

1 Does Administartor role as more permission than Project Admin role ?

Thanks for clarifications

regards

Hi @serge calderara  - Did this answer your question?

Hi Serge,

if I got you right you are wondering if users in the role "Administrator" role are able to manage project related settings. If yes, I'd recommend you to check the Permission Scheme assigned to your project. The permission you are looking for is the first from the top - for administering projects.

Cheers,
Daniel
