Project Roles

Question

I am trying to view ALL our Project Roles which I got to with this (System-->Project Roles.) It then gives me a list of all the roles we have in our organization and it’s description and Actions for each role. However, I’m trying to see what privileges each role has. (Not the JIRA predefined roles. But roles that were created by the organization themselves) Like who can open/close an issue, or who approve issues, etc. How do I get to that page to view what each role is allowed to do and modify it?

Help!

Hi @Mohamed Benziane ,

You can try Project Role Tab For Jira Cloud app. It displays users/groups of roles for each project.

As @Mohamed Benziane said you need to look at what roles the project leads assigns to the users and how that maps to the permission scheme.

I use pretty generic titles for project roles which allows me to use one permission scheme across all projects so I know what role can do what. I document what roles have what permissions so the project admins can assign users to that role.  For closed projects I remove all users from all project roles. If needed for historical data the JIRA admin can add a user to the browse.

It would take a bit of work to convert to this model, but you'll always know what role can do what. Any conditional transitions are documented by workflow.

Hello @Sarah Olaleye

You can't (at least im not aware of such functionnality) because you can give to the project role the permission you want in each project.

The same PR can have the browse permission and transition permission in project A but only the edit permission in project B. So if you want to modify what the project role can do you have to go in each project where it is used and look at the permission scheme and user and role.

And you can use project role in notification, filter, workflow...

Hope this helps.
