How to allow someone to modify the workflow of a project ?

[Mboiteux]

Hello,

A member of my project has to modify the workflow.

The documentation reads that he needs the "Administer Jira " global permission to do so.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/working-with-workflows-776636540.html

But I guess that once the workflow has been assigned to the project,  someone with less privilege can modify it.

Which minimal privilege/role is needed to modify one workflow assigned to a Jira project ?

Hi @Mboiteux,

The minimal privilege is extended project administration. However, that is only the case if a set of conditions is met:

(excerpt from Atlassian documentation)

If those conditions are not met, only a Jira Administrator can change the workflow.

Also, if you have Jira Software, then an administrator can "simplify" a workflow, and that lets the board owner maintain it.

Thank you for your anwsers.

I can't see "extended project administration" in the project authorisations system.

I see "admin project". And no  like "extended%" option.

Where can be this priv found (and given) please ?

Ah, hang on, this is Cloud isn't it?

Extended permissions are not available on Cloud (yet).

[Mboiteux]

Yes this is Cloud.

So I understand that in this context only the global "Jira Administrator" right enables someone to modify workflows.

Thanks a lot for your help.

And "simplified workflow" in Software boards gives board admins some flexibility too.
