How to properly archive Jira project

[Mathieu Ackermann]

Hello,

I have tried to apply the method described here to archive a project online (applying an empty permission scheme). However, the project still appears in the project list of administrators, although they cannot access its issues. Is there a way to remove it from this list completely?

Kind Regards,

Mathieu Ackermann

Thanks. However, I can still see the project in the "Browse projects" list, which is quite annoying because the list gets crowded. Furthermore, when I click the name of the project, I get a page saying that the content of the project cannot be accessed, so it sounds like a bug to me.

There's a bug on Cloud doing that at the moment, I don't know if it has made its way on to Server yet.  Users who can't browse projects get to see them in the main list.  It's rather an obvious bug, I don't know how Atlassian missed it.

Does anyone know if atlassian are working on this bug, its really annoying?

Third.  Is this issue actively being worked?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

See Amanda's answer.

I saw that after I made the comment.  I voted for and watched https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-68228 

Thank you!

I contacted support; Atlassian are now aware of the issue (sounds like the documented method broke with the recent UI update), and it has been raised as a feature request:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-68228

They've also recommended voting on the case to show that there's interest in it.

By definition, an admin needs to be able to get to the administration section of a project, whatever state it is in, or they can't do their job.

You should find they can't see the project anywhere else, but admins need at least the admin section.

+2 to this question - I've got the same problem too.  Has anyone found out how to fix it yet?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You need to wait for Atlassian to fix it on Cloud, and hide the projects when they're secured.

Thanks Nic

Another +1, I like a tidy list of projects. It's so helpful to only see what is relevant! 

Keep the upvotes going!!

I was checking to see if there has been an update on this?   We are looking to properly archive projects and be able to research them if needed
