Hello Jira team,

I need help please. Is ADMIN PERMISSION mandatory to do bulk upload of epics and stories in jira (through a csv file) in an already existing project? If yes, then I would request you to provide an alternate way to do bulk upload of the same as the my client is not providing me with the admin permissions.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Ahsan Raza

Hey @Ahsan Raza 

From what I can see, you do need to be an administrator to perform this task. 

If you have the CSV all set up, could an admin on your clients side do the import?

As far as I know, only one of them (clients) has the admin permissions. Also it is not recommended to ask them to do this task as I am assigned with this responsibility. 

The best I can do is to ask them to provide me the admin permissions, IF NO OTHER WAY OUT. Kindly confirm on this part.

Thanks a lot for the prompt response.

Hi @Ahsan Raza 

I will test some user accounts today, admin v non admin to confirm this for you. 

Thanks.
