You can't. Favourite filters are a personal thing, not for an admin to set.

There is a big weakness in Jira's filter management. As designed, it's great, until a user leaves, at which point, the lack of "admin can change other people's filters" becomes a bit of a nightmare. There's a general catch-all improvement for admin managing filters at https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-9997

However, that's not quite what you asked. What you've asked for is a common question, that has two basic answers.

I've already scribbled "Jira doesn't support this". That's true for the UI. You can do it by poking simple data into the database (but you must have Jira shut down while you do that, which is not exactly helpful). You could also look into plugins and coding something. I seem to remember someone has coded a plugin for this.
But the second answer is more importnat - don't do it. Pushing filters onto people is "a bad thing" - your non-technically minded users won't understand why you've done it, and the technically minded ones will say "I don't need this" and do their own (even if it ends up exactly the same).

You are far better off defining the filters as shared, then adding them to a dashboard gadget on the system default dashboard, so they all see it and maybe add some text saying "click the star if you find any of these filters useful". In other words, stop trying to second-guess how your users will want to do things (because they won't use it the way you think) and give them pointers and advice instead of forcing things on them. Trust me - I implemented a simple database push to do exactly this once, and pulled it after I got over 100 calls saying "stop messing with my filter list"

But you can t tell 200 users: add this to your favorite list

You could expand on the Groovy script shown here and push out a filter to users. I agree with Nic that force-feeding a filter to users isn't always the best approach, but I also have seen that our users don't notice the instructions I put on the System Dashboard to help them find and favorite some of our more popular shared dashboards and filters. :-)

No, and you don't want to either - the point is, they don't want you to. You can advise them to do it, which leaves the choice with them, but inflicting your opinion on them is absolutely the wrong thing to do. For new users, I'd be tempted to have "default favourites" if the functionality existed, but not push to existing users

Samir Freelance

I downloaded dashboard distribution plugin. I tried but it s not scanning through my filters periodically

what do you suggest?

Samir Freelance

Please find my screenshot you can see that only filter with star are showing

The plugin betsy is referring to is the script runner. To share with everyone you share with "jira-users" or whatever group(s) you have given the USE permission to.

Samir Freelance

Hi BetsyW,

1) I am trying to add the pluggin but there are 4 pluggns wich one to add?

2) in the script there is :

String shareWith = "some group"

  I want to share with everyone

Samir Freelance

Earlier versions of groovy such as the 1.5 versions do not contain the script engine, so won't be "discovered" by this version of the plugin

this is mentioned here https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/GRV/Script+Runner#ScriptRunner-Installation

is it the problem if so how can I solve it?

JamieA

But you are not using a 1.5 version!

JamieA

it's saying 10151 does not exist. Can you paste here the url of the dashboard

Samir Freelance

I am pasting this url :

http://192.168.0.84:8080/secure/ManageFilters.jspa

if it is not the right one can you please tell me how to retrieve the url?

thanks

You can use Bulk Favorite plugin https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.bia.jira.BatchFavoritesMaker/server/overview

There is an option to set preselected dashboards and filters for user group, and users will get it when they will log in into your JIRA instance.

Martina Wolf

If anyone's interested ...

We use JIRA V6.2.7, so we can not use Bulk Favorite plugin because it starts at V6.4

Groovy Script running in the Script Runner

String shareWith = "jira_users"

ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()

FavouritesManager favouritesManager = (FavouritesManager) componentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(FavouritesManager.class)

SearchRequestManager searchRequestManager = componentManager.getSearchRequestManager()

SearchRequest searchRequest = searchRequestManager.getSharedEntity(searchRequestId)

ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager().getUsersInGroup(shareWith).each {
