Hi Folks,

We hope this message finds you.

We are releasing Permissions Management for our Advanced Kanban & Agile Board for Jira. From now on you will have 3 tiers of permissions, namely:

• Board Administrators to have full control of the board and the only user/group that have access to board settings and can alter it besides Jira Global Administrators obviously

• “Work with the board” to add, remove or change configuration of columns/swimlanes w/o ability to change what are the standard or custom fields are defined for columns/swimlanes, create/update column groups, create links/dependencies, setup WIP and Aging limits, create or change quick filters and most important drag and drop issues

• “Read only access” to view the board only and only apply quick filters or other filters, turn on/off statistics, view dependencies, collapse/expand columns/swimlanes, zoom in and out.

While migrating we will 

• assign the creator of the board as Board Administrator. Jira Global Administrators are also Board Administrators by definition. So, if you can’t access the board please contact the creator or Jira Global Administrator to give you appropriate permissions.

• users/groups that can manage projects shortlisted for the board will receive “Work with the board” permission. It’s recommended for Administrator to go over automatically assigned permissions to verify and maybe distinguish between “Work with the board” / “Read only access” permissions

• no one will receive “Read only access” automatically and needs to be set manually by Administrators

As always, please reach out to our support team for any questions and support you during transition.

Many thanks & Kind regards,

Support Team by Release Management Apps
