What does the Archive Project do in Jira Cloud?

Owen Guion

In the manage projects view, on the right side, three dots expands to

Project Settings
Move to Trash
Archive

Selecting archive removes the project from view but unlike Jira server, there appear to be no access to the archived projects list.

Can you restore these archived projects?

Hello @Owen Guion ,

Only Jira admins can restore the project.

I learned just this week that Cloud Premium is rolling out the Archive and Trash project feature. I have not yet seen any documentation for these but as Ollie says these features are for admins. Archive will hide the project from non-admin users and Trash will place them in a ‘trashcan’ that can later be emptied, similar to how files can be placed in the trash on PC.

Jack,

When you refer to admins here do you mean site-admins or org-admins?

Who has the ability to archive?

Owen Guion

Ollie,

Which level Jira Admins?

Project Admin, no
Site, can archive, apparently cannot restore
Org admin - what Jira officially term 'administrators' = yes

TBH, I cannot definitely say as I’m on Standard and I haven’t seen any docs. Now, that said the various admin terms on cloud have always left me scratching my head but to be fair I have spent time worrying about it or researching either. Maybe I will now. 😀 I have always assumed “site-admin” for cloud belongs to the host (Atlassian) and the Org Admin is what folks often refer to as site admin. Maybe they are the same and I’m just overthinking it.😉 can you point me to definitions of the two? Terms I typically use are Org/site-admin and Project admins. With that in mind my question is can Project admins archive a project?

Owen Guion

Jack,

For the difference, see here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/manage-groups-744721627.html?_ga=2.80668311.1446728396.1594374518-679685836.1591356844

From this thread: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-questions/Cloud-what-difference-between-site-Admin-Admin-and-JIRA-Admin/qaq-p/648822

I am not sure this is entirely accurate, given it points to site-admin as a user manager and administrator (org-admin) as managing

plug-ins
fields, screens, etc.
