How To Change the Default Assignees on a Project

Greg Stackhouse

When I create a new project in Jira it auto assigns a bunch of users to various project roles- some of which are no longer even active users. I can't find where to set this in Jira. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: What I'm talking about is when I create a project, by default is has a list of people in various roles on the project. I'm not trying to edit the roles, but who is assigned to a project by default. Jira is choosing people who aren't even active users anymore and assigning them to new projects. I can't find a common user group that would be defining this.

Greg,

Go to Project Setting --> Users and Roles --> Edit defaults (found at the upper right corner of the page).

This is for server. Are you a JIRA admin?

I am an admin, but I'm on Jira Cloud. Edit defaults is not an option I see but it must be in here somewhere because projects come with defaults. It's a pain to have to clear out all the old users.

Greg,

In cloud, go to your project settings --> Details --> scroll down to Default Assignee

It's not so much the default assignee for the project, but users who are assigned to various roles at the creation of every project.
