We don't have the project archive feature. Is there a way to enable it for Jira software 7.11.2?

I have the option to delete and edit but no archive. Any suggestions?

Archiving only exists for Data Centre Jira systems at present.  For server, you have to do it "manually", by hiding things, as @Tinker Fadoua  said

It is not an available option. You have to create a permission scheme called may be "Read Only Projects) where you grant access to Browse project to all users but nothing else and of course JIRA Admin should be granted access to the project.

Apply it to your project. Your users will be able to view any issues but not create a new ones.

Best,

Thanks @Tinker Fadoua I will investigate on how to create permissions.

[Tinker Fadoua]

@Johnson Ngocorai  You have to be a JIRA Admin in order to Add permissions.

[Johnson Ngocorai]

@Tinker Fadoua  Yes, I am an admin. Thanks

[Tinker Fadoua]

@Johnson Ngocorai  let me know if you need any help regarding the configuration

[Johnson Ngocorai]

@Tinker Fadoua Thanks. I will probably have questions when I start working on this. I am pretty new to Jira administration. I will reach out.

A couple of extra things, in addition to changing the permissions, that we do, as a bit of cleanup:

• Prepend the project name with "{Archived}" to force archived projects to the bottom of the project listing page.
• Delete the project's boards and associated filters (delete the board before the filter; otherwise, the board will not be accessible and thus will not be able to be deleted).

@Payne  I didn't know about your first bullet. Very good points! 👍
