Can you grant a specific user project permission to edit/add Post Functions without jira admin?

[Sharon Curtis]

My question is about Jira Software Project Roles and permissions.   I have a user that is trying to add a new Post Function but don't have the permissions add/edit the existing project function.  He already has project administrator roles.

Hello @Sharon Curtis,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

In order to edit a workflow, the user must be a project administrator so they can access the workflow's page on the project settings, but also, as John and Jack mentioned, they need to be a Jira administrator.

For more information, please check the documentation below:

• Editing a project's workflow
• Managing Global Permissions

Hi Sharon, 

If it is not a Simplified Workflow, then it can only be done by a Jira Administrator. Basically, if it is a shared workflow, only a Jira Admin can update. 

[Jack Brickey]

correct I should have conveyed that right off the bat.

@Sharon Curtis  - it goes back to the type of workflow that it is. If it is shared across projects or it is not a Simplified Worfklow, project administrators cannot edit it. 

Can you share a screenshot of the workflow? 

[Sharon Curtis]

I did already

[Jack Brickey]

you can give the project admin rights for that project only.

and they cannot edit workflow? hmmm, i see you are on server but would have thought it would work as it does in cloud.
