Project Lead

[Yvonne]

Hi team,

Could you please clarify:

1. Is that true that only Sole Project Lead allowed per project? No two shared Project Leads in same project?
2. If it's 'No' answer to above question 1, how could we give another user to share the same access/capacity as the Project Lead?

Thank you 

Yvonne

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, Jira only has one project lead.  I prefer the word "owner", but it's not that important, and I'd have no problem if the field allowed 2-3 owners.

Project Lead is only one of the 12 ways to give people permission in a project.  Go in to the permission scheme or the project and try to add someone, you'll find groups, project roles, dynamic roles, individuals and others can be added.

Hi Nic,

Thank you for your response. I am still new to Jira and am learning as I go.

In other words, if say under the Project Lead (PL) X there are 10 permission schemes per project (for 10 projects). To enable the new/additional owner Y to have the same access as (PL) X for 10 projects, we need to manually give Y to 100 (10x10) permission schemes. is that right?

No.  A project only has one permission scheme.

I'm not quite sure what you are really asking here.
