I want to be able to let users do external system import with the Jira import Wizard but i dont want to allow them ability to adjust workflow or changed fields. How can i do this? it seems that the only way to restrict this is to change the role from Trusted to Basic but if they are trusted they can do the external import and anything with the workflow and if they are in the Basic role they cannot do either. is there a way to modify this or restrict in some other way?
Hi @Jon
There's a global setting called bulk change. You can get to it through the settings cog > system > global permissions
If you add the jira-software-users group then any user can import from csv via the 'create' menu.
I think to import from Trello, Jira Server/Cloud or JSON you'd need to give admin access so that they can access system jira import wizard.
Would that give you the functionality you are looking for?
hi stuart,
yeah what i see now is i need to give a user admin access to use the system import wizard but when i do that i also give them access to other features i want to prohibit, i.e. changing workflow, adding fields or changing automations. Is there a way to do this?
Hi Jon,
No, my suggestion is not to give admin privileges. You can choose or create a group to give the 'bulk change' permission to - that gives them the ability to upload from a csv file or select multiple issues to edit at the same time.
Hi Stuart
yeah that sounds good. How would I do that?
