How to grant permissions to a project lead to edit the permission scheme to the project?

[Diogo Serrano]

Hi,

Here's the case:

I created a project for the user1, where he is the project lead.

The project have a permission scheme only for his project, that doenst affect other projects.

But, even if the user1 is the project lead and administrator, he can't edit this permissions so he can define who can browse the project, add comments etc,

NOTE: the user1 is not jira administrator.

Is this possible? and how can i do it? i didn't find any answer.

The permissions are only editable by administrators.

What you should do is give the project a set of permissions that are based on roles.  Then your project administrator can put people into the roles in their projects.

Hi Diogo,

Welcome to the community!

I believe that to be able to edit a permission scheme, a user needs to be a jira administrator of the instance.

There's a feature request created to allow users to be admins of only a specific project, and not for the entire instance. You can Watch it to be notified of all updates here: JRACLOUD-3156

I think that in your case you'd need to make the user1 a jira administrator.

Maybe a workaround for this would be to use Next-gen projects, as they can be restricted to be edited and accessible by certain users and the permissions are simplified.

Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
