Edit a private filter in Jira Cloud

[Ingmar Heinrich]

As an admin of Jira Cloud, I would like to edit other user's private filters, change their sharing settings, or completely change the owner.

Hi @Ingmar Heinrich , 

you can do this in Jira you have Jira Administrator permissions. 

You can then go to the Administration menu (top-right corner) -> System -> Filters

You will find in this menu the list of all the instance filters, and you'll have the ability to change the filter owner.

If you want to update a filter, you will have to give yourself the ownership first, make the changes and then change it back.

You can have a look at the documentation on this : https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/manage-shared-filters/

Let me know if this helps,

Hi @Ingmar Heinrich

You need to change owner of the filter first to be able to modify filter. You can also use Doctor Pro for Jira which gives you opportunity not only to modify filter but also check if any of them is broken.

Cheers,
Hubert
