Disable ability to delete projects

Adam Johnson_c5hvoh

My company is setting up Jira Cloud, and I'm trying to allow our users to create Scrum and Kanban projects, but not delete them. Two questions:

Is there a way to disable the deletion of Projects for administrators, or to create a user group that can create projects, but not delete them?

Is there a way to hide the "Delete project" option for one (or preferably all) projects so it is very hard to do?

Hi Adam,

You cannot take away the ability for an Administrator to ‘delete’ a project. However, you can create a group that can create projects, but not delete them.

You can also manage individual users in the same manner. You could create a user that has all of the same privileges as an Administrator; however, removing the ‘Administer Projects’ permission removes the ability to ‘delete’ projects.

I do know how to create a new user group, and I can get to the Jira Permissions page, but I'm struggling to find instructions to separate permission to create and delete projects.

Is there any documentation that describes how to do this?

You can give the group/user "create independent project" global permission. Have a look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/managing-global-permissions-776636359.html

Thanks for the link, but I thought (per this documentation) that independent projects can only be created using the agility project template. I need the ability to create Scrum and Kanban projects.

What am I missing?
