Project Level Security in JIRA

Rolondo Talbott

We are implementing JIRA in our IT Department. The desire is that every user has the ability to create projects and issues, create workflow, etc. 

On Project led by a Project Manager or our PMO, the desire is that users ability be limited to the role they are performing (e.g. developers can only open issues). Is there a way to have JIRA instance security and Project-based security - which may differ depending on the Project role?

Hello,

You need to provide cases, how you want to restrict users.

If to answer the cases you provided:

1. If you want to each user to create projects, issues, create workflows then you would need either to make all users Jira administrators or let the users to create next-gen projects

2. If you want to limit developers only to open issues, then you need a classic project and grant the Developer role only the Browse Projects permission and Create Issues permission.
