Non-admin user required to create projects with custom workflow and custom fields

Konrad_em2zlr

My project requires from regular Jira users, that do not have admin rights, to create multiple projects for tracking purposes. Each of these projects would contain the same custom workflow and the same custom fields. How such user can create project with predefined custom workflow and fields, without admin involvment?

As far as I know users without admin rights can create Team-Managed projects, however only from predifined Jira templates, which do not include option to use our own configurtion.

Hi Konrad,

Regular users will not be able to do that - only Jira Admins. I would suggest you consider using Epics for your "projects" instead of Projects themselves.

Hi John,

Thank you for your answer. Just to make sure, regular user can:

Create Team-managed project based on Jira template.

What about using template (with custom workflow and fields) created by admin?

John Funk

No, there is a specific System level permission that can be give to users to create Team-managed projects. That is different than creating Company-managed projects. Those are more tightly controlled because they can used shared schemes, custom fields, etc. where Team-managed projects are completely self contained and do not affect other projects.

All I am asking is that Admin could create their own project template, include this into the Team-Managed project pool of templates. This way regular users could utilize this instead of relying purely on Jira templates.

There seem to be third party solution to this here :

However, it could be built-in feature of Jira.

Hello @Konrad

as was pointed out, using regular Jira permission, non-admins will only be able to create team-managed projects.

In case you are open for third party solution, let me suggest our 'Project Templates for Jira' for you. There you can specify custom project templates with the workflow and fields you mention and for each custom project template you can specify exactly who (even non-admins!!!) can create projects based on it. There is more to discover and the free trial has no limitations, so give it a try and let us know what you think.

Hi @W_Diehl _Litew8 GmbH_

Can you suggest an app that is included into standard subscription, please?

Hi @Konrad

You are not alone in wanting non-admins to create specific types of projects.

There has been an official Atlassian feature request for this since 2003, which has garnered 1,000 votes and numerous comments.

Atlassian continually updates and reorganizes project configuration options. For example, they recently announced plans to merge Work Management and Software projects.

For third-party app developers like us, these changes require constant updates and improvements to maintain and enhance functionality, which incurs costs.

Regarding your concern about app pricing, please note that our app is priced as low as possible. It is roughly 6-8 times cheaper (depending on user count) than the competitor you mentioned.

Welcome!
