Edit Filter Permission

Question

Hi, Dear Community,

Hope you are well.

It is just a month since we have migrated to the Cloud.

I noticed one thing and did some research, but couldn't find any solution.

There is a board filter that was created by our teammates, and the edit permission is granted to one user(different from me), and I can't edit that filter.

In the Data Center, the system admin could edit any filter, despite the fact that he did not have edit permission on it.

Is there any way to have that possibility in the cloud?

Hello @Gor Greyan

Jira Administrators can effectively edit any filter by taking ownership of the filter. Then they can edit it, and then reassign ownership to the original owner.

How to Edit Any Shared or Private Filter

Navigate to the Filters directory: Go to Gear icon, select System, and find the Filters option

Find the filter: Locate the filter you need to modify in the list.

Change ownership: Click the ... (more actions) icon next to the filter name and select Change owner.

Take ownership: Search for your own username or name, select your profile, and click Change Owner.

Edit the filter: Click on the filter name to run it. You can now modify the JQL query, edit permissions, or change the column layout and click Save.

Reassign ownership: Go back to the System > Filters, click the ... icon, select Change owner, and assign it back to the original owner.

There is a change request to allow editing without taking ownership, to which you can add your vote:

you need to change onwership in order to edit the filter.

Go to filters section(from admin cog wheel not from left side menu). select the filter you want to edit and click on 3 dots next to it and select change ownership and choose your name over there. That's it

Hey Folks, 
@sai chinamuthevi , @Trudy P Claspill , @Yashaswini YK

Thanks for your responses.

I have found a way to change ownership to me, edit, then change it back, but you know, that it requires more steps :D

That is why I asked, is there any possibility to do it, maybe there was a specific permission that I was not know or couldn't find.

Anyway, thanks for your responses again, dears.
