Hello everyone,
This article will explain to you- how to grant access to a sprint in a Jira Software project.
The 'Manage Sprints' permission in Jira Software allows users to perform the actions like
- Creating, Starting, Completing, Reopening sprints
- Reordering, Deleting future sprints
- Editing sprint information (e.g. sprint name and dates)
- Moving the sprint footer
In order to grant a user access to a sprint, we need to make sure that the user has 'Manage Sprints' permission in all the projects returned by the filter query applied to the board from which our sprint originates.
Tip: Please make sure that you have written a simplified filter query for your board. A query like “assignee = user1” should be avoided since this query will return all the projects available in your Jira instance. To handle such a case, you will have to provide the user 'Manage Sprints' permission in all the projects in your Jira instance. A better query will be “project = "PA" AND assignee = user1”
Now, let's see the best practice to assign the 'Manage Sprints' permission to users:
- Create a new project role called Sprint Manager (or select a name as per your choice).
- In the corresponding permission scheme, assign the 'Manage Sprints' permission to the Sprint Manager project role.
- Associate the permission scheme with the corresponding projects in your Jira instance.
- Add the appropriate users to the Sprint Manager project role in the corresponding projects
The user(s) should now be able to access the sprint.
