What permissions are required to allow a group user edit other users dashboards and filters?

[Tom Rutherford]

We want to maintain one set of dashboards and filters that the team can share and update as they see fit so I've created a number of dashboards and filters and shared them with the users in the same project.

At the minute it looks like I'm the only user who can edit the dashboards and filters. What permissions are required to allow the other users to edit those dashboards and filters that I've created?

Hi Tom,

Possiblity of Managing or Editing the filters by the users other that its creator is not yet implemented. Also there is not any such permissions which will allow to edit the Filter created by other user.

Please check this reference: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-19780

Thanks, Nikhil.

The referenced issue and related issues all talk about changing ownership of filters, or allowing admins to manage filters. This is actually different from the quest/request in this thread, imo.

At my company we really want several users to be allowed to modify filters. Our teams work together and maintain their own filters and rapid views themselves. If the filterowner is away for whatever reason, the group is forced to create a copy if something goes wrong with the filter until the owner is back again. This is not really feasibly when you have lots of filters and users.

Would be great if you could specify write-access the same way as you now specify read-access.

Nikhil's answer still stands, it just refers you to a feature that doesn't quite address it. There's no group editing of filters.

I've seen people create a user that is specifically for managing team dashboards and filters. It may not work for everyone, might pose some security concerns to consider, but it's a workaround. As a jira-administratror, you can obviously now transfer ownership of a filter or dashboard to another user which may also help in this scenario and not pose the security risk of having a user shared by team members. Transferring ownership can help though as it allows current team members to manage filters/dashboards owned by people who are away for whatever reason or who have left the company, etc..
