How to remove the ability to create new projects?

[Michelle A Johnson]

We would only like to have two administrators to have the capability to create projects. The Jira Administrator and a Project Manager that oversees all projects in progress. We have had issues with duplicate projects that are set up by multiple members of the same team. How can I set up a Jira Admin who will be solely responsible for setting up a new project and not allow any other team members to create projects which the exception of the Jira Admin and Site org owner?

Hello @Michelle A Johnson ,

I hope you are doing well!!

You need to take away the JIRA Administrators and Create team-managed projects global permission from the other users or groups may you have assigned to this global permission, and you need to only add required person to the Jira Administrator group and this group to both permissions.

By defaul Jira Admin will be able to create Team manage Project also.

I hope this helps.

Mayur

Thank you, Mayur! That explanation makes sense, and I will make the change to global permissions. I will provide an update tomorrow. I am certain that you gave me the solution I needed!
