Allow project admins to edit workflow in 7.3

Yousaf

Hello together,

as the title suggests, i´m looking for a way to allow project admins to edit workflows.

I read somewhere that it´s a new feature since a few days and I would like to know where to find this setting. I hope its also available in 7.3...

Thanks ;-)

Yes, it's a new feature in 7.3 but comes with some conditions.

Please read below (from the release notes of 7.3)

Project level administration

We've extended the project administrators permission, so that project administrators can now edit their projects workflow under certain conditions:

The workflow must not be shared with any other projects
The workflow cannot be the JIRA default system workflow, which cannot be edited at all

The project admins will not be able to edit the workflow to the same extent as a JIRA administrator. The restrictions are:

To add a status, the status must already exist in the JIRA instance i.e. the project admin can't create new statuses or edit existing statuses
The project admin isn't allowed to delete a status from the workflow
The project admin can create, update or delete transitions, but they can't select or update a screen used by the transition, or edit a transition's properties, conditions, validators or post-functions

This feature is enabled by default. When you upgrade to JIRA Software 7.3, all your project administrators will have access to this feature immediately. To edit a workflow, a project administrator should select Project settings in their project's sidebar, and select an issue type. This will present the workflow, and Edit Workflow will be available.

Thanks for the quick help. I followed all the steps but it still doesn´t work.

I gave the project admin the permission through the permission-scheme but he still can not edit the workflows in any way.

Is there some other possibility to make this work?

Thanks!

Is the workflow only used by that one project? Make sure the workflow scheme is not shared and the workflow is not in more than one scheme.

Looks like the feature is only available in Jira 7.4 onwards: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-3156

the restrictions in place are extremely limiting. Most of the work I've had to do over the years comes from the things you're not allowing a project admin do, so the new "features" of allowing admin role to change stuff, is pretty useless in my use case. I hoped to grant more power to project owners, as it should be.

A project admin should be able to update issue types schemes and workflow schemes (adding issue types and splitting issue types to their own workflows) and screen schemes and field configuration schemes (making fields required and assigning screens to issue types), as well as changing workflow transition screens and adding/editing post functions and other transition properties. These are all vital to our project management process and this is where most of my time is spent, rather than being a sr. systems engineer. What's up with not being able to change a project category? That one seems pretty innocuous.
