How do I give non-site-admins, like jira project admins the capability of adding users to a group

jay.shain@dxc.com August 14, 2018

Hi,

Without giving site administration privileges out to a project administrator in JIRA, how can I afford them the capability of simply being able to add a user to an existing group that their project uses?

It seems all or nothing at the site administration level. Either you can control the whole system or not. We want to allow just one function, adding users to a group, to be provided as a capability for a project admin.

Thanks,
Jay

It is all or nothing for this.  But user maintenance in projects is one of the reasons we have project roles in Jira - if you swap back to using them for permissions, your project administrators will be able to add and remove users from the projects as required, without using groups (although you can still use them too)

Thanks Nic. I saw some of your other posts. We have a lot of projects with common schemes, workflows and groups. I'm leaning towards creating custom software to allow a project admin the capability to add to a group.
