Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue that I cannot seem to work around.
I'm trying to give all users in my organization permission to create Company Managed Projects, but only one user can do so for some reason.
I've added all of them to a group (site-admins) that grants Organization Admin permissions, but only one is able to create these projects.
I can't seem to find a difference between this user and the others.
Can you help me out? Is more information needed?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Francisco,
Company managed project are created by Jira administrators. So in order for all users to be able to create company managed projects all users would have to be Jira administrators.
I would advise against this. Giving all users jira admin permissions can quickly result in a rampant growth of custom configurations. Moreover, if your users are not familiar with the intricacies of jira they may inadvertedly make changes that affect the entire instance.
Instead I would advise one of the following:
Hi @Els Bassant ,
Yes, you are right. That's what I proposed but I'm not the one taking the decissions here haha.
Anyways, I'm still unable to create a group that has administrator permissions. The whole issue is that the people added to site-admins cannot create projects:

Ah, well. Sometimes life gives us lemons. Beyond stressing the risks and that this goes against best practice there is not much you can do in that case.
Let me know how it goes. I'm currently in the process of taking away admin rights from our users because 70+ admins has caused quite a bit of chaos.
Here is the documentation from Atassian on how to grant admin permissions through groups.

It could be something as simple as a permission setting that’s different for that one user, maybe tied to their individual profile or an additional role they have. Double-check if there's another layer of permissions at the project level that could be limiting others. Also, if you're looking to scale your project management or need better global access to tools, I recently came across https://www.houseofcompanies.io/ and their eBranch solution. It uses AI to manage global operations seamlessly, which could help streamline things if you’re planning to expand.

Hi @Francisco Ferraz ,
I am the Product Manager of Templating.app.
Our recent update introduces a feature that empowers administrators to generate project templates utilizing the available schemes. Moreover, they can specify users and groups permitted to create new company-managed projects based on these templates without necessitating administrator permissions.
Users can also create templates for issue hierarchies and subtasks.
Let me know if you have any questions 💜.
Cheers,
Sarah

Hi @Francisco Ferraz - Please go to admin.atlassian.com and then select your organization. Click on Product access and then add site-admin group in Jira Administration under the Administration access tab.

Hi @Akash Gupta
On my organization I can see this:
Under the Products tab, I cannot see Product Access anywhere. Where is it?
Thanks!

@Francisco Ferraz did you ever get a solution to your issue? I am trying to figure this out too and cannot find any current documentation.
