Can't assign user group to project role

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to assign a user group to a project role (Administration / Projects / Summary / Roles / Users), but the group doesn't show up as an assignable item (in the Roles table, when I click in the Users row, Groups column, and try to enter the name of the user group, JIRA can't find it).

I edited the permission scheme so that Browse Projects does contain the new group, but it still doesn't show up.

Any ideas?

JIRA version is:

Version6.3.12Build Number6343

Hi Balint.

Are you entering the full name of the group? In my case, if I have for example "group of users" group, I can only assign it to a role if I write it entirely (group of users), partial name search doesn´t work with groups as it works with users.

Hope it works for you.

Regards, Aylin.

Because the body of your question differed from that, your comments talked about a different thing, and the use of the word "assign" is unclear.

Which is it?

* You cannot add a  group to a project role
* You are not seeing the members of a group you added to the role in the list of possible assignees

Well, I haven't changed the title, it still says "Can't assign user group to project role"

How could I be any more specific than that?
