I have a lead developer that i need to have access to create new versions within a project. I've found that currently the only way to do this is to grant them a Jira-Admin privilage.
I want to be able to give them the ability to create a new version, but without having to grant them a full admin permission.
Is this possible?
Hello,
You need to grant the lead developer Administer project permission, not Jira admin permission. It is different. You can see here what a user with Administer project permission can do. https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/managing-project-permissions-861253293.html
Maybe it is fine for you
Thanks
This gives more than I was hoping it would but it's fine for what I need. I'll maybe suggest a feature request to break down permissions on a more granular basis
Thanks for your help

I agree with Matt here, permissions need to be more granular than this. We have a team specific to managing releases at an enterprise level. Having that team able to manipulate all projects that utilize the release system at an Admin level project to project is way too much access all at once.

My team is also dealing with this problem. We want to give someone with limited permissions access to create versions, but they do not need to be administering the whole project. Has there been any movement toward more granular permissions for this. Is there somewhere where I can submit a change request to Atlassian for this?

I also agree with this. We want to give the product manager the ability to create versions - why should we give them the ability to manage the entire project?

Throwing another "me, too!" in here- it's fine to keep top-level permission "switches", but we should also have the ability to give these permissions piecemeal.

How is this not changed yet? Granting project admin just to make a new version is overkill.

There is a pretty rich set of granular options for determine permissions for users, roles, groups, etc. Seems odd to me that this one was left off the list. We need it.

We are going through the same thing. When we launched in 2016, we were told to keep all tickets open for everyone to see and that noone but PMs and managers would EVER add components and fix versions. Things changed (of course) and now we only have one permission scheme that goes across all maintenance projects and we will have to completely re-design permission structure just to make "X" project only permissions a thing. :-(

Jira needs a Permission called Manage Version, to allow Versions to be created, changed, released, archived, without being project admin.

I've found a way to do it with Automation For Jira. You can create an automation that receives a post request, and that post request can create (and release) a new version. I made one of those and gave the URL to developer that was needing it. It works for me but it's a far cry from a perfect solution.

Hello @Rafael Braga
Could you please share the details of how you managed to (almost) achieve this using Automation for JIRA?
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
I've found a working workaround with Automation. Use the "Manual trigger from issue" trigger, tick "Prompt for input when this rule is triggered" and add a Short Text field, then add a "Create version" action that uses the input from the trigger. The Version name would be something like (depending on your field name):
{{userInputs.versionName}}
Then anyone who has permission to run the action (defaults to everyone but you can restrict in the "Manual trigger" block) can kick off the automation from a ticket and create a version.

Great workaround, Marc. Just solved an "impossible request" from my organization, using your suggestion.

This should absolutely be fixed. In an R&D environment, we create many "versions" that are not going to a client, but rather an internal team of testers. Using a version (for affects version and fixed version) is absolutely critical for defect tracking. My Developers need no other functionality than this. There should be a separate permission to allow this level of access.

Hi, try this quick steps to assign a team member as project administrator so he/she will able to create Versions in the specified project:
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
I posted this answer for the question about a non-admin solution for Managing Versions (for with there is no Atlassian answer), but if you want a person to be able to create Releases AND manage Versions, you need both the permissions listed below:
The original Answer is only partially correct (at least for Data Center). Until Atlassian deigns to add this as a stand-alone permission, you need the following permissions on your project to fully manage Releases & Versions:
1. You must have the Administer Projects permission (with or without extended project administration). NOTE: This permission alone allows you to CREATE a Release AND add issues from the backlog to a version. It DOES NOT allow you to add an issue to a version in a Detail screen (neither the board Issue Detail View, the Edit dialog nor the Detail screen)
2. You must have the Resolve Issues permission. This will enable you to add an issue to a Version using the board Issue Detail View, the Edit dialog and the Detail screen.
For us this was critical as we often add issues after they are In Progress (no longer in the backlog.
Hope this helps clarify this rather confusing problem.

This annoyed me to no end, I decided to do something about it, I use dates for releases and I came up with this script:
This gives details on what the post request looks like and the auth that will generate FixVersions. In MY case, I have added logic to create a loop of fixVersions based on a range of dates.
Hope it helps, please comment if it does help

Hi, you are more than welcome to try my plugin for free - Version Manager for JIRA cloud.
Not only does it let you delegate the manage versions permission to whoever you decide but it also lets you assign components to versions.
