I'm rather perplexed and having issues trying to apply the "Manage Watchers" permission for a specific permission scheme and project role/members applied to numerous projects.
Use Case: As a Professional services project admin and default member of the new Project Role: PS Project Admins, I need to be able to add and remove Watchers to Issues in my JIRA Projects.
Current Config:(Atlassian Cloud / Jira)
- Existing Projects A, B, C
- New Project Role Created (under "System"): PS Project Admins
- Default Members added to PS Project Admins: Sally, Maria, Baze (these users are NOT JIRA Admins and should not be)
- Default Permission Scheme applied to projects A, B, C
- Default Permission Scheme and "Manage Watchers" permission updated to include Project Role: PS Project Admins
Expected Results:
- As a member of PS Project Admins, Sally should be able to update any issue to add/remove Watchers in her PS Projects A, B
- As a member of PS Project Admins, Baze should be able to update any issue to add/remove Watchers in his Project C
Actual Results
- None of the default members in the PS Project Admins project role can add/remove users to any issue in any of their projects
- When Permission Helper is used, it says these users need to be added to the Project Roles: Administrators, PS Project Admins
Questions:
- If specified in a permission scheme (Default Permission Scheme) that is applied to numerous projects (A, B, C), should a new project role (PS Project Admins) + default members (Sally, Maria, Baze) with Manage Watchers permission get applied to all existing projects with that permission scheme applied?
- Why can I not see the Project Role: PS Project Admins in the "Users and Roles" lists on Projects A, B, C, but I can see "PS Project Admins" applied to the "Manage Watchers" permission in each Project A, B, C?
