* Can a project admin of a project using a simplified workflow create brand new global statuses (e.g., InSecurityTesting, readyForComplianceCheck, etc. )? I read for jira workflows you needed to be a jira admin to do that but couldn’t find anything about it for simplified workflows. I know you can “add” any existing global statues to a simplified workflow, but can you also create your own new ones?

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Can a proj admin create new global statuses?

Hi @eugine park

With a simplified workflow and board administrator rights you can create new statuses. But they will only be available to the simplified workflow. They won’t be available to other projects.

For a global status, you will need Jira Administrator access

Here’s the documentation that says you can add statuses but it doesn’t say you can create new statuses - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/configuring-columns-938845277.html

Thanks!

@Tom Listerthat's not correct. Any board administrator can create new global statuses without any global permission!
