"Create a new project" dialog differences based on group

[Adam Johnson]

My company is setting up Jira, and I'm trying to allow our users to create projects, but not delete them.  That led me to discover this behavior:

When someone in the group jira-administrators tries to create a project, they are presented with different options than users in the group jira-software-users.  The jira-administrators are able to choose a project type (Scrum, Kanban, etc.), while the jira-software-users only have the "Agility" option.  And the jira-software-users have an "Access" option.

Why the differences?  Is there a way to allow jira-software-users to change the template, or change what the default template is?

This is a screenshots of the "Create a new project" dialog for jira-administrators:

 

This is a screenshot of the same dialog for jira-software-users:

Hi Adam,

I guess by looking at your screenshots that you're using Jira Cloud? Regular users can only create independent projects, see documentation here:

Currently, you can only create independent projects using the agility project template.

That's why you see a difference between administrator and user views - for now, only administrators can create regular projects and choose from different templates.

Hope this helps,

Yes, we're using Jira Cloud.  And your answer gives me what I need to continue configuration for our team.

Thanks!
