Categorize Projects

Question

First off I'd like to say that the groups, roles, permissions that jira offers is pretty much one of the worst implementations I have seen. Simple things like assigning a group to a role, then giving the role the ability to create projects is missed. Instead  you have to create a permission schema to associate to a project?

Anyway, what magic incantation do I need to envoke to link a project to a category? Not seeing any options from either the project or project category pages.

That is done purposefully. Well, there is role but that is not a project role. Instead it is called administrators. Administrators can do a bunch of things including creations of projects.You can define which groups can do this.

Go to project administration screen and click on Category on the top along with Key, Lead and URL.
