Create new board -> Board from an existing project - Only a few projects show up

André Johnsson

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new kanban board for an existing project but when I get to the project picker there are only about 20 projects available, out of north of 200 total projects. I googled a bit and I saw an answer that said it might have to do with permissions, but I'm completely new to Jira and can't find any permission settings that might be related to this. I am a system admin (with some restrictions), and I have set myself up as a project admin for the specific project I want to create the kanban board for. Does anyone have any ideas what permission might be stopping the project from showing up, or does anyone have any other idea what might be causing this?

Regards,

The only permission you should need on the project is the "Browse Issues" permission. Check the project's permission scheme to see if your role(s) have been granted that permission.

Can you see the project in the Projects -> View All Projects menu? (Note this is not the Admin view of projects, just the standard one).

Hi Pete,

I can see the project in the Projects -> View All Projects menu.

If I look through the Default Permission Scheme there are a few projects in that list that shows up in the project picker, but the majority of them don't.

But it doesn't seem like my project is associated with a permission scheme. When I view all the permission schemes and their associated projects I can not find my project anywhere in the list. Is it possible to have a project that isn't associated with a permission scheme?

Pete Singleton

No, the project must have a Permission Scheme. Go to the project settings and you will see which one it is configured to use.

These are all the options I can see in the project settings for projects in Jira Software, and I can't find any permission scheme within any of these options. I can see a lot more settings in Jira Service Desk. Could the issue here simply be that I haven't been given high enough admin rights within Jira Software?
