Permissions for Non-Admins

Info

Some functionality in Jira - like creating/editing Versions and Releases - available only Jira/

...

Project Admins. This is not very flexible when you have multiple teams ns projects and you run cross-project release management or need to sync components cross project.

Therefore, we introduced 2 additional permissions, namely:

  • Project level Release Management

  • and Global Component Management

to let non-Admins to create/edit versions and components. This gives admins a bit more flexibility to delegate this function to certain groups and unlock engineering teams on their execution.

...

You can either change the default schema or create an “escalated“ one (recommended).

Click Action\Edit Permissions.

Scroll to find [Release Management - Project Versions Management] and click Update

...

Now you can assign this permission to either individual, role or group …

...

Click Save.

Note

Note: the above applies only to Release Management App you still can’t create/edit release using Jira standard functionality of you are not project admin.

Classic Components Management Permissions

...

To give Jira Global Administrators control over it we created a special permission - [Release Management - Global Classic Component Management] - that allows to specify users/groups that could change Components from Release Management w/o being Admin for corresponding Jira Projects. The scope of such permission applies only to the projects listed for the board.
