Granting permission to add Components?

Question

I've read all related Q&As on this subject and have still not been able to successfully provide permission to the Project Lead to add components.

* Bill Smith is the Project Lead for Project ABC
* Project ABCs permission scheme has Administer Projects access granted to Project Lead. (I have also tried granting access to Bill Smith (single user).
* I have re-indexed the project (a suggestion from a previous post).
* Bill Smith has logged out/back in with fresh browser

Still getting the following error message: "Sorry, you do not have permission to perform this action.. PermissionInsightException: User JIRAUSER11301 didn't have correct permission Sorry, you do not have permission to perform this action."

Any additional insights are greatly appreciated. I prefer not to put him in the Jira Administrator group as this provides much more access than what is needed.

@Steve Long -Evelon- I have created the blank asset scheme as the workaround describes. How does the project 'know' that the new scheme has been created? Do I need to associate the new scheme with the Jira software project? (All of the documentation about asset schemes seems to relate to service projects, but we're working with company managed software projects)

Hi @Jennifer Maurer

What you've done seems correct so far - to add components the user should just need the 'Administer Projects' permission, which they seem to have based on what you've said.

I'd maybe check out the following bug though which seems very similar to what you're seeing: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSDSERVER-12199

See if the workarounds suggested help?

Fingers crossed - Steve.
