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:
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. |

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
In Jira by default Components belong to Projects and could be managed by Project Admins only. This overcomplicates cross-project component management. Therefore, most of the Partner Apps that have a functionality for cross-project component management are making all the changes in App-context allowing to override Project Admin 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.
