How can users know their project roles

Boyd K

Using Jira Data Center 9.0.0.

How can non-admin users see which project roles they have? We have project roles like Reviewers, QA, Builders, Managers, etc. We use these roles for workflow transitions. Besides users pinging me, the Jira administrator, if they are in a role or not, how may they find out on their own? Their profile does not list any project roles. Is there a JQL query they could run to find out?

Hi @Boyd K

The projectsWhereUserHasRole() JQL function might give you something you can use, although only for one role at a time.

For example, project in projectsWhereUserHasRole("Reviewers") gives the user running the query a list of issues where they have the role of Reviewer.

You could create a shared filter for each of your main roles, that would give your users a way to verify if they have a particular role on a project without needing to ask an admin.

Hi @Boyd K ,

I don't know any way how they can find that out themselves. But why do they want to know?

Wouldn't it be possible to tell them to ask their project administrator? They should kno, in which roles they are and why.

Hi, @Boyd K

Try going to Projects>View All Projects>Three dots to display Project Settings for a project you are interested in>People tab. You will find a list of people and their roles there.

Alternatively, you can try the following query: "member = currentUser()". This will show all issues where a user is a member and from there they can see their role.

They want to confirm why they may not see certain role-specific transitions.

For now, I am the Jira administrator and the project administrator. I have an initial list of who should have such roles. However, as users start using this tool and workflows, new to us, we will see if the correct or enough users are in the correct roles.

Non-admin users do not seem to have access to Project Settings.

I tried "member = currentUser(U)" both as an admin user and a non-admin user. The result was the same - Field 'member' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it.
