Only I can start or complete sprints in a board

[Marina]

Hello. 

I have a board that is pulling items from 4 different projects (we are testing working as a feature team) and to keep the team focus I want the board to only show the EPICs prioritised for that release (old projects so a lot of legacy stuff). 

I managed to create the board and it is working fine, the only issue is that I am the only one that can create/complete sprints. I followed everything in here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/using-manage-sprints-permission-for-advanced-cases-802592462.html?_ga=2.131117903.1953471415.1563547624-975454748.1556641208

but still no luck.

This is my board filter:  

issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf("labels = feature_team", "is Epic of") OR labels = Feature_Team ORDER BY Rank

Hello,

I believe that you are the only one who has manage sprints permission for all projects in your Jira. The JQL query for your board is not restricted to projects, that is why to start or complete a sprint on the board, you need manage sprints permission for all projects.

Thanks Alexey. I did create a Sprint Manager role and granted manage sprints to all people in all the four projects that the board is pulling items from. They are also administrator in all the four projects as well as administrators no the board.

so based on your reply, I updated the filter to restrict the projects but that didn't fix the permissions issue :(

update: a colleague helped me troubleshoot and I was missing one set of parenthesis. All working now!
