what do we should do after a contracting project is completed?

[Yong]

Hi,

We have completed a contracting project, and only one of the team members (admin) needs to access all the Jira contents in the future. 

Couple questions:

1. Can we remove all the obsolete members without loosing Jira history of their work?

2. How can we archive it if we are using the Standard version (I think only Premium supports achieving)

Thanks.

Hi @Yong 

Yes, you can remove the members from the 'Roles' in the project without losing the Jira history of work done. 

Premium only supports archiving but you can follow the below steps to make the project read only. 

Making a project 'Read-Only'

If you make a project read-only, the project will be visible via the 'Administration' menu, and will appear in the 'Browse Projects' list. The project's issues will be searchable and viewable, but no one will be able to modify them.

1. Create a new permission scheme. Grant the 'Browse Project' permission to everyone who needs to be able to search or browse the project, or view its issues. Leave all of the other permissions empty.
2. Associate the new permission scheme with the project that you wish to hide (see Assigning a Permission Scheme to a Project ).
3. To prevent workflow transitions from happening you will need to update the workflow and add a condition to each transition. The conditions should check that a user has the Edit Issues permission.

Let me know if you have any further questions. 

Thanks
