In a company-managed project, can a user with "Administer Projects" permission edit the issue layout

TechSangam

In a company-managed project, I'm trying to understand the permissions related to editing issue layouts. Specifically, I want to know if a user with the "Administer Projects" permission can edit the issue layout without having the explicit "Manage Issue Layouts" permission.

Hi @TechSangam welcome to the Atlassian Community!

No, you'll need this explicit "Manage Issue Layouts" permission if you're not a Jira product admin.

The "Administer Projects" permission isn't sufficient.

Hi @TechSangam @Dave Mathijs

The "Manage Issue Layouts" permission was recently introduced by Atlassian. Previously, this was inherited under the "Administer Projects" permission. So, users with the "Administer Projects" permission can still edit the issue layout.

However, a suggestion has been raised to Atlassian to decouple this permission for better access control.

Kindly refer to the link below for more details:

Hi @Vignesh Jayagopal

Thanks for the clarification. So Administer Projects gives you Manage Issue Layouts and Edit Workflows automatically (as before), right?

@Dave Mathijs Yes, users with Administer Project permission can edit the issue layout. However, I don't believe they were previously able to edit workflows, as only users with Jira Administrator permission have the ability to modify workflows.

Could you please confirm whether the permissions have been separated? Although I have the Administer Projects permission, I'm unable to edit the layout in the UI because I lack the Manage Issue Layouts permission.
