About the management scope of different JIRA administrator

HongChao Song

In our JIRA platform,we managed some different business projects, so there are many JIRA administrators, and the JIRA administrators could see the projects that not belongs to them. From security perspective, it is not good management.

For example:

Current situation:

administratorsA managed projectA

administratorsB managed projectB

but administratorsA could check both projectA and projectB

Expected situation:

administratorsA could only check projectA but not projectB
administratorsB could not check projectA and only check projectB

Is it possible configure on the JIRA?
Or maybe other better solution?

Thanks in advance!

Hi HongChao,

What do you understand with the term Administrator? There's a few different administrator roles within JIRA:

• System Administrator: can administer everything, addons, system settings, all projects, etc
• JIRA Administrator: can do many administrative tasks except the ones listed on Managing global permissions. But still has access to all projects
• Project Administrator: can administer only the configuration of the projects he's the project administrator for.

So from reading your post I guess your looking for the Project Administrator role instead of the JIRA or System Administrator role. To learn more about project roles check Managing Project Roles on Confluence.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Maarten
