managing "releases" only from admin ?

[Y_ Oezl]

Dear community,

I have a situation that I want to learn. A department in our company wants to use the "Releases" option in Jira. However, there is a problem that causes us trouble. That is the management method of this option. 

If you look at the first photo below, I am only assigned as "user" in this project and I cannot add "approvers" when there is a "release" that has been archived. Thats a good sign from our side. 

on the other hand, I can only change the release status of an archived release as "user" to "Unarchive".

and in this case things get messy and I have the right to add an "Aproval" again as a normal user.

Now there is no setting option in the "Permissions" section in jira for this situation. And I could not find an option to provide release management only to "Project admins". How can we solve this??

By the way, what's even funnier is that when I make it "released", normal users have full rights. Only when it is "Archived", their right to add "approvals" is taken away. This is also completely ridiculous.

There is most likely a serious bug here. Or this option was added by Atlassian just for the sake of it and no thought was given to it.

Thank you for your help.
Best Regards

Hi @Y_ Oezl

Trust you are well.

Yeah, unfortunately this is a reality - you need to be project admin to do anything meaningful with releases. If you have many projects - you have do be admin in all that projects.

There are multiple Apps on Marketplace that provide escalated permission so Admins can assign non-admin users/groups to manage releases in different projects. Same applies to components, btw.

This is one of the features we provide in our Release Management App, namely Permissions for Non-Admins.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Yuri.

Hi Yuri, 

Thanks for asking. Hope so you are well too. 

Unfortunately new Plug-In is not an option from our side. We can't buy Plug-In / Add-On due to simple errors or bugs of Atlassian
