Persmissions for Workflows

Bastian Ouwehand

Good morning Communtity

Im a new System Administrator in our Company (since 2 weeks).

One Project has a new employee. He is currently as an Administrator active. He would like to edit the projects workflows. Currently he can't edit those. I can. Each project has its own workflow scheme.

My question is, which permissions i have to frant him so that he can edit the workflows?

Thank you in advance

Hello @Bastian Ouwehand ,

You need to log in as a user with the Administer Jira global permission to access and manage workflows.

If he is a administrator role for a project, he will be able to make limited changes to a workflow under certain conditions.

Project administrators
As a project administrator, you can only edit a workflow that belongs to your project if:
you have the Extended project administration permission, which is enabled by default (you can check that in Project settings > Permissions),
the workflow isn't shared with any other projects (it's only available in your project),
the workflow isn't the default Jira workflow (no-one can edit these workflows).
If the workflow is shared with another project, you'll see that information when you view the workflow. You'll also see how many issue types share the workflow, and would be affected by any changes you may make. You can make the following changes to the workflow:
Add a status (the statuses must already exist in the Jira instance, you can't create, edit or remove statuses),
Delete a status (the statuses must not be used by any of the project's issues),
Create, add, edit or delete transitions (you can't select or update a screen used by the transition, or edit or view a transition's properties, conditions, validators or post-functions).

I made it work for him. I created some status and now he can arrange them as he likes to. I was not aware of how it really works, when he makes changes to e.g. the "open" status.

It works now.

Thanks to both of you
