Are there any good docs explaining the difference between a Project Admin and Jira Admin?

Question

I need to relay this info to people at our company. I am not finding any simple/easy to understand docs online or diagrams.

Or even a doc listing all the permissions of a Project Admin and a doc listing all the permissions of a Jira Admin.

Thanks!

@ian.johnsen, haha! Yeah, unfortunately there is no such document. LIke you said you might have to collect info from different sources and build a solid document yourself to show it to your folks in the company. I would start looking for other posts in the community..

Thanks for the info! I am actually Jira Admin certified and went thru all those trainings haha. I have something similar to what you wrote that I sent over to existing Jira admins. What I really need is some sort of official chart from Atlassian comparing the 2 roles of what they can/cannot do permission wise. Doesn't seem like Atlassian has a doc like this and I might need to build one myself. :/

Hey @Datta Borude -

Thanks for the quick response! I actually already came across those docs haha. What I really need is a doc breaking down the difference between the 2 roles and their permissions. What they can and cannot do. A chart would be best. I haven't been able to find anything like that. I am trying to reduce the amount of Jira admins we have and there is some confusion around the difference between the 2 roles. I might need to just put together my own doc, but was hoping to to point people to an official Atlasssian doc.
