Someone has deleted one of our boards - to help me track down the culprit it would help to know what permissions they would have needed.  I can't find this information anywhere in the documentation.

Hi @John Funk @naveen arroju @Hilary Boyce 

 

If you are talking about deleting a board from a project in jira, and if it has issues that belongs to only that particular project, then you would need following two permissions: 

- board administrator

- Project administrator

 

Thanks and Regards

Is that so or the jira admin has the permission?

No, the Jira Admin does not inherently have the permissions. They have only what is granted by the Permission Scheme in this case.

As a user only, the one who created board and just an board admin, but not the project admin - can they delete the board?
