Where can set the rule that who can create & release versions in Jira?

Where can I set the rule that who can create & release versions in Jira? I mean 'Manage Version'. Under permissions, I was unable to see it. Please help

Hello, Good day. Any user with "Administer project" permission will be able to create and edit version. Make sure you restrict administer project permission for specific user. https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/enable-releases-and-versions/

Hi @Mohanraj Thangamuthu when you say "Make sure you restrict administer project permission for specific user." where exactly do I check this? Can you share a snapshot perhaps? I've granted this user access/permission but he is still not able to create a release. Does it take a while for this to activate on his side?

[Mohanraj Thangamuthu]

Hello, Good day. Please let me know if you are using "Company managed project" or "Team managed project"?

Morning, its company managed.

[Mohanraj Thangamuthu]

Hello, thanks. Please go to project settings >> permission and make sure user has the "Administer project" permission.

Thank you @Mohanraj Thangamuthu !  :) All sorted now - he has access.

Can I check if I give administer permissions to someone in our group can they then delete and move and change things on the board and list?

Hi @Mohanraj Thangamuthu if I have a team managed project - how can I allow someone else within the team to create and amend releases? Thank you :)

[Mohanraj Thangamuthu]

Hello, Good day. On the Team managed project, you could provide administer role to the required user. https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/next-gen-permissions/

Hi @Mohanraj Thangamuthu thank you for your response - this is the issue it's an external company so we don't need to give full access to do all of the above. 

If any JIRA items/details were deleted by mistake can these be retrieved? 

Do you know how far out the new functionality is to provide version and release permissions without full project permissions?
