How can I give "Create Component" rights to any particular member in my JIRA board?

[Nilay Sheth]

I have a JIRA board and being an Admin, I can easily Create a Component in my JIRA board. But I want to give the rights to a particular member of that board and no one else. How can I do that? I want him to manage the components. Please guide me with this issue.

You need to have the project-specific Administer Projects permission or the JIRA Administrator global permission to be able to:

• Add - create a new component against which issues can be aligned
• Select a default assignee - choose who is automatically assigned issues with that component assigned
• Edit - change a components details
• Delete - remove a component

You may not want to give whole "Administer Projects" permission to users, because they can do a lot more than creating components. If you don't want to give "Administer Project" permission, you may use our add-on, "Configuration Management Toolkit". It provides you to specify CM Roles  in settings and users in these roles can do followings:

- Create versions, create components. They can't delete components and versions.

- Create and configure bundles

- Create and update component specific versions.
