Jira permissions
Before we start diving into projects, we need to understand a little bit about permissions. Permission is a big topic, and we will cover it in detail in Chapter 9, Securing Jira. For now, we will briefly talk about permissions related to creating, browsing, and administering projects.
In Jira, there are several levels of permission:
- Global permission: Create and delete projects and administer Jira configuration
- Project permission: Browse and administer individual projects
- Issue permission: Browse individual issues
Users with the Jira administrator global permission will be able to create and delete projects. By default, users in the Jira administrator group have this permission, so the administrator user we created during the installation process in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Jira Data Center, will be able to create new projects. We will refer to this user and any other users with this permission as a Jira administrator.
For any given...
