All the groups I have are coming from Crowd.
I have the permission setted up like this and I'm in the group master-administrators:

I'm a Crowd developer (i.e. not a JIRA developer, so this could be way off base), but I suspect you may need to add yourself to a group which is mapped to the JIRA Users permission.

I must have the Jira Directory enabled? Because I really want a centralized user management, without the need to have different users and groups on every application... (I use jira, stash, confluence, bamboo, crucible & fisheye)

No, nothing to do with the default JIRA internal directory.

What I mean is that I think you may need to add your "cappyt" user account to a group which has the "JIRA Users" permission assigned to it. For example,

  • add "cappyt" to the "jira-users" group in Crowd (and then sync JIRA with Crowd), OR
  • make a new group "jira-administrator-users" in Crowd, sync JIRA,, add "cappyt" to it, and add the "JIRA Users" permission to the "jira-administrator-users" group.

(of course, if there is no "jira-users" group in Crowd, you have to create one in Crowd before you can add your "cappyt" user to it!)

This actualli solved the problem, many thanks about that.
I'm a real noob in atlassian software so now I started to figure out how the things work.

Permissions aren't the problem here - anyone can create dashboards.

What do you actually mean by "can't create dashboards"? No option to do it? Error messages? What happens when you go into "manage dashboards" and clickadd?
