Allow permissions to user to perform a bulk import of user stories

[Erick Orr]

I have a scrum master who has Jira user permissions and needs to bulk import user stories into Jira. My questions are:

1. What permissions do I grant this scrum master, other than making them a Jira admin?

2. Where do I go specifically to grant these permissions?

3. What are my specific steps to accomplish this? 

I was recently made the administrator of our Atlassian instance and new users and teams are being provisioned to create and manage projects in Jira. I have looked throughout other Community posts as well as online but I'm not finding step by step instructions. Thank you.

Hi @Erick Orr ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

It is not necessary to make them a Jira admin.

You need to kind of permissions: global permission and space permission (for the specific space)

For bulk changes, you need to assign a global permission (Bulk change) to the user
Explanation here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/permissions/overview#what-are-permissions-and-permission-schemes 

Then, it is required to give permission at space level, through space permission scheme and space permissions.

There is an interesting tutorial here: https://community.atlassian.com/learning/lesson/jira-permission-scheme 

But first, you need to detect which kind of space is: "company-managed" or "team-managed"

Here there is a difference if project is "company-managed" or "team-managed":

Company-managed:
User will require at least: browse project, Create work items, edit work items. Maybe Schedule permission. It depends on what data you have to bulk.
You can find a complete list of permissione here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/types-of-permissions-you-can-grant-in-a-space-scheme/ 

Team-managed:
The logic is a bit different, you can have more detail here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/next-gen-permissions/  and

Hope it helps
