Question for Nic Brough

Question

Hi Nic,  I read your response regarding access splitting it up into Project and Admin types.  I have access to one Project and I can only add people to roles, I can't see groups, I can see what permissions are set.   I'm on the business side and would like to have more control eg. " It's actually quite easy to write things like new field types and workflow functions."My question is, don't I have to log in as an admin to be able to implement any code?  I have fished around Jira doing whatever I can but I can't see a way to write and implement a new field type, I don't know where to start but would love to learn if I could.   We don't get any jira support where I am, it's just been set up and we are moreorless left to our own devices with the current configuration.  ...but I use jira all the time and want to be able to do more.  Denise

Ah, ok.  I think a lot of this needs to go back to your administators then.  They'll be able to help you with groups and addons.  (If you're using "ondemand", you can usually tell by the url - if you're using jira on something like mycompany.atlassian.net, it's ondemand)

Hi Nic, No I'm not managing groups, I'm a user, I can't even see what groups are set up.  The help desk people maintain groups.  We are using Jira (I think it's on demand) it's through a firewall any way.  I'll have a look for addons, I'm pretty sure we don't have that either.    Thanks for your help though.  I think that actually answers my questions.  As a user I don't think I can do anything much.  Bit frustrating!

Ok, so how are you maintaining the groups?  You'll need to go in there to find out what the memberships are.

For the script runner, just go into "addons" and look in the marketplace for it.  You haven't mentioned whther you're on OnDemand/Cloud though - you can't get script runner for that.
