Is it possible to use the import feature without being an administrator

Fredrik Israelsson

This description states that one will have to log in with "Jira Administrator global permission" in order to import issues from CSV files.

I would like to know if there is some way for my IT department to set some detailed permissions to my user for a single Jira project, so that I can import issues into that project without beeing a global administrator. I doubt that my IT department will let any of us developers gain "Jira administrator global permission".

Hi Fredrik,

Yes, but not exactly. Users can create issues by importing data from a CSV by navigating to Issues > Import issues from CSV. Cheers!

Thank you!

I will investigate that option now. I wounder why most of the docs I have encountered this far all refer to the big import plugin that requires the admin role. Is this import function you refer to a simpler one, without support for hiearchies and links between issues?

Hi Fredrik,

I know that it is possible to configure Sub-tasks in Tasks when importing via CSV. I haven't done it before, but it also appears that you can Import Issue Links. I recommend performing the import into a test instance or project to refine the CSV configuration. Cheers!
