Jira Admin Permissions

Question

I'm fairly new to Atlassian products and need some assistance.

We have a group that is asking to be able to own their own project i.e. making changes to their screens as needed. In >Project Settings>Permissions I found that under Administer Projects the "Extended Projects Administration" was disabled. I also noticed that the screen scheme was being shared by 17 different projects. I found out the reason it was turned off is that someone made changes to one of the project Workflow that affected other projects Workflows.

How do I give permissions back (Enable "Extended Projects Administration") to a group without giving them access to change Workflows?

How do I unshare the screen scheme?

Hello @Mikerey Reyes ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

If there are any shared configurations for any schemes (screens, workflows, etc.), it can only be edited/updated by JIRA Administrators. Project Administrators can only make changes if those respective configurations are not shared with any other project.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Milan

Hello @Mikerey Reyes , you can't just give them access to change workflows only. The best solution here would be to make sure that none of the schemes in that project are shared with other projects. That way whatever changes made to the "Project A: Workflow" or Screens or any other configurations would not affect any others.
