Is it possible to create a creator role in Jira?

Question

As a team facilitating engagement with multiple business units, I want to have a role that allows users to read issues in my project and create work requests but NOT edit them so that it can facilitate intake process.

Is it possible to create a custom role for read access plus create access for certain projects in Jira server 7.11?

@NAYANA ,

yes it is possible.

First you need to create your custom role, where you will put your users in that just have read and create permissions. How to get there is described by Sanjeev.

Second, you need to edit your permission scheme you use in the project.

Under Administration you go to permissions schemes and search for that permission. Click on permission and look for the certain permissions for 'Create Issues' and 'Browse Projects'. These are the two for 'view' and 'create' issues.

Also check that under 'Edit Issues' there is not the reporter or some other group wich might lead to the 'edit' permission again.

Let me know if this worked.

Follow the steps:

* Choose > System.
* Under SECURITY, select Project roles. The Project Role Browser displays, which contains a list of all the project roles in your Jira site.
* Under Add Project Role at the bottom of the page, enter your desired role's name and a description.
* Click the Add Project Role button.
