Setting Default Assignee as "Unassigned"

Jesse Anson

How do I change the default assignee from Project Lead to Unassigned. In a previous version of Jira that I used we were able to do this - I can't seem to find the way to change that in the current version we are using which is the OnDemand version.

Please advise on how I can change this.

Thanks

The administration screen in OnDemand is new in JIRA 4.4, which is probably why it doesn't seem familiar.

Go into Administration, select the project at the top, and you'll see an overview of the selected project settings. There's a "People" section at the top-right that shows the project lead, default assignee, and project roles. Click "More" to change those settings.
