How can I change JIRA board Administrator from the API?

Isabelle Bouchard

Hi,

I'm using the JIRA Python API wrapper to create JIRA projects and boards. I wonder if there is a way to change the board Administrator from either Python or REST API? I would like to have a different user than the one creating the board.

I am now using create_board(...) method and by default the administrator is the creator of the board.

Thank you for your help!

There is a REST endpoint /rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapidviewconfig/boardadmins whose PUT method can set the administrators of the project. Data must be in the format:

Thanks for the quick reply!

Following that, I get a 500 JIRAError: Unrecognized field "userKeys"...

Also is it supposed the set the board admin right for one board only? How is it linked to the proper board?

Is there a place where I can get a bit of documentation on it ..?

MoroSystems Support

I didn't find documentation so I think it is internal REST service which is not documented and can be changed between versions. I tested it a little and following valid JSON works:

{"id":1,"boardAdmins":{"userKeys":["admin"],"groupKeys":[]}}

"id" is ID of board
"admin" is key of the user who is going to be set as administrator

you can set multiple users and groups as board's administrators
