Assign permissions to Project Roles

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to establish a general permission scheme. Therefore I defined several Project Roles (Administrators, Developers, Users, Head of, Trainee) and assigned groups to these roles (Administrators = jira-admins, bamboo-admins, stash-admins...). In a next step I defined the global permissions and a default permission scheme depending on the roles/groups.

In the permission scheme I tried to assign the permissions to the roles, but I got the feedback that the users haven't got the permissions defined in the scheme. So I changed the permission scheme and assigned the permissions to the groups and then it was ok.

So my question: isn't it possible to assign permissions in a permission scheme to project roles? Or is there a point I have forgotten?

Thank's in advance,

Marcel

Yes, that's what I said.

The roles are a global thing - you add a role.  That makes it available for a project to put users in, and for a permission scheme to grant permissions to.  Those two combine to grant users rights.

Because I already assign the groups to the roles on a global level (Administration > System > Roles). For example: I assigned the groups "jira-administrator", "bamboo-administrator", "stash-administrator" to the role "Administrators". So, do I have to assign the groups to the roles also on the project level?

Hi Nic,

thank's for the quick help.

it's JIRA 6.3.7.
I performed the steps you mentioned (1. create roles 2. create permission scheme 3. add roles to scheme 4. apply scheme for project).
Perhaps it is the last point, where I made a mistake. Do I always have to define roles on the project level (that means when I'm in my project > Administration > Roles)?
I left the project roles empty. I thought that in this case JIRA takes the roles that are established and only if I want to have special permissions on the project level I have to enter a value in these fields...
