Default Project Template & Default People

[joel.murav]

Is there a way to force all projects to ONLY be able to use pre-selected SCHEMAS?

We want our team to pick from 1 of 2 Schemas that we have created so everyone uses the same workflow.

Also everytime I create a project the same set of users get added to the project by default. I would like to change that as half the people arent on the project that we are creating. I cannot figure out how to configure each option.

Thanks for your help

Hey Joel,

You can't force Admins to use a particular Schema. But you can edit the default people and roles that are showing up when a project is created. 

Go to Settings > System > Project Roles

There you can Manage Default Members for each project role.

Thank you! That helps! Follow up Question. There any way to prevent users from creating projects and creating new schemas

Basically we have 2 schemas and we want to drive users to only pick one of the two. Is this possible?

Only Jira Admins can create new Classic Projects. If it is a Next-gen project, you can turn that off at the system level, too 

Settings > System > Global Permissions - edit that scheme

Thanks! It sound like the only way to control what Schemas are available for Projects is to DELETE all the old ones?

The issue with that is I would have to MIGRATE all existing projects over to one of those new schemas which is difficult to say the least.

Also I would love a way to FORCE the user to have to click on "select existing schema when they create a project. is that possible?

Unfortunately, no that's not possible. I would just limit who has the ability to create projects (they must be a Jira Administrator) and I would educate them. If they don't listen, the remove their permission to create.  :-)
