Hi @George Vie,

Are you trying to adjust the permissions for a next-gen project?

In next-gen projects, Atlassian has tried to simplify the permissions feature so that users can easily add or remove people based on roles.  The permissions aren't as granular as they usually are in normal Jira projects, so the add comment permission isn't customizable.

Here is documentation on the permissions overview:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/overview-of-permissions-in-next-gen-projects-959283605.html

If you are not in a next-gen project, let me know and I'll take another look.

Thank you very much for the reply!!

No i was trying to add people with assigned role in classic project.
I will read the reference you gave me and come back if my problem is not yet resolved.

ah the documentation that i sent is for next-gen projects.

You should start here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/managing-project-roles-776636382.html

switch to server if you are using server :)

oh i've read this one before but the problem is this :

  • Under SECURITY, select Project roles. The Project Role Browser displays, which contains a list of all the project roles in your Jira site. (i can't find the security) image.png
  • and here i can't see other roles options.image.png
