Set default "Users and roles" for new project

Lars Anderson_a61q2q

When creating a new project I use the option "Create with shared configuration" to copy the settings of another project that has already been setup to my requirement. However the assigned users and roles will not be copied to the new project. 

The default user groups "administrators", "jira-developers" and "jira-users" are linked to the new project instead of the groups that I linked in the previous project.

Is there a way to overcome this small annoyance?

"Create shared configuration" is not a "copy".  It's telling the new project to use the same configuration objects as the old project.  If, for example, you look at the "workflow scheme" for the projects, you'll see they both use "Workflow scheme A".  If you make a change to that workflow scheme, both projects are affected.

The roles for the projects are different, there's no shared configuration of users and roles. 

What is happening is that the global defaults are copied at the time of project creation.

Have a look under Admin -> Users -> Roles.  You'll see that for each role, there can be defaults, and I suspect you'll find your three groups are named in those.  Change the defaults to what you want, and then try creating another project with shared configuration.
