Hide the delete Project Button

Question

Hi,

We are trying to hide the delete project button functionality for admins from the Projects menu screen. I was able to hide on the project setting screen using script runner fragments.

The reason we need it hidden is to allow no user to delete the project/project data including the admins.

You can also suggest a javascript to add in announcement banner to hide the same.

I don't find the delete project permission as separate permission in Jira.

I want to all the current privileges and stop only the delete project functionality in Jira. Is this possible through some JS in the announcement banner?

Regards,

Hi @Anzar

This is not doable with ScriptRunner. Even if you try and use the Fragments, you will not be able to hide that field.

In Jira, if a user is granted Administration rights, it implies that the user will have admin and implicitly rights to delete a project.

You can try the alternative approach, i.e., creating a group with most Admin rights except the rights to delete the project.

A similar question was asked and answered in this community post.

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
