Our company does not want any project deleted, how can we disable "Delete Project" in JIRA

Michael Blake

While we want jira administrators to be able to add and modify entities, our company does not want any projects deleted as we have to preserve the historical records for 7+ years per contracts.  Is there a way to disable the delete projects functionality for jira administrators?  

 

As a side note,  can a macro be created to supersede the global permissions?

Hello Michael,

You cannot take away the ability for a global Administrator to ‘delete’ a project, However we do have a feature request to add this in that I would recommend adding your vote on to help us track interest per the Implementation of New Features Policy, viewable here:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-62237

An option you could look into would be ScriptRunner's Hide UI Element Built-In Script functions that can be used to disable the delete project element under the project settings here:

    VS      

This would reduce the visible footprint of the delete option a bit, But I am not aware of an option to hide the Delete project under the "Admin >> Projects >> View All Projects" page so this option would still be present for Global admins using this method:
