How to restrict the creation of projects to a small group in Jira?

The Permission Scheme on the Administration page seems a bit limited in what can be restricted. However, I may be looking in the wrong place. I'm looking for a way to limit who can create new projects in jira to a smaller group of people. Right now, anyone can create a new project, and for our situation, we need to limit it to only a few people in the organization. Is this even possible?

Hey @Jamie Edmondson !

You should check "Global permissions" in system settings. You can restrict users from create team-managed projectsimage (30).png

Yes, but this does not impact who can create company-managed projects, correct?

Basic users can't create company managed projects anyway, they need to be jira admins. You can ger detail informations from this link

Hello @Jamie Edmondson 

Are you trying to restrict which Jira Administrators can create projects, or are you trying to give the Project Create option to additional, non-administration users?

Any user that has the Administer Jira global permission will be able to create projects. You cannot add more constraints to that to limit which of those users can create projects.

OK - that clears is up for me, I think. I need to just make sure I am controlling who has jira administrator rights. I was trying to restrict it to just site admins
