Manage Sprint permissions

Kris Dewachter

Hi,

I currently have "Manage Sprint" permissions, although I should not be able to.

I have a Jira Software board, that displays issues from 3 Jira projects.

All 3 projects use the same permission scheme. I checked with the "permission helper" and this confirms i DO NOT have "Manage Sprint" permissions, on any of the 3 projects.

However, when I navigate to the backlog of the board, I have the permission to create and manage sprints.

What might be overriding the permission scheme ?

Best regards,

Kris

Hello @Kris Dewachter

What is your level of access in the Jira instance? Are you an administrator for those projects? Are you a Product/Jira Administrator.

Based on my testing, a user with the Product Administrator will be able to Manage Sprints even it that permissions is removed from for the user within the permission scheme.

Hi @Kris Dewachter

It looks like created a new board with 3 different projects which is fine. You can probably create the sprints, but I don't think you would be able to move tickets from those projects to the sprints.

See if you can edit any of the tickets to your sprint and you should not be able to.

Hi @Trudy P Claspill ,

Looks like you are right.

After some further testing it seems I can't manage sprints with only the "Manage Sprints" permissions in the permission scheme.

Only after activating the "Product Administrator" permission, I could manage sprints on my board.

This seems strange to me, because this permission also gives you the possibilty to manage other project settings (ex. workflows and permission schemes), and you don't want that.

Best regards,

Kris

Hello @Kris Dewachter

I'm confused.

Do you need to managed the sprints but cannot, or are you able to manage the sprints when you think the settings should not allow you to do so?

You should not need the Product Admin access to be able to manage sprints if you have the Manage Sprints permission in all projects in scope of the board filter. If you do have the Product Admin access then that will override the lack of Manage Sprints permissions.

If you have the Manage Sprints permission and are not able to manage the sprints without also having the Product Admin access, we should dig into that to find the root cause.

Hi @Trudy P Claspill ,

I'm struggling with this also.

In my case, I have the "Manage Sprints" permission for all projects in the board, and when I don't have the "Product Admin" permission, i CAN NOT manage sprints.

I can only manage sprints when I also get the "Product Admin" permission.

Best regards,

Kris
