Permission for Non-Admins

Introduction
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 and projects and you run cross-project release management.
Therefore, we introduced additional permission, namely:
Project level Release Management
to let non-Admins to create/edit versions. This gives admins a bit more flexibility to delegate this function to certain groups and unlock engineering teams on their execution.
Versions/Releases Management Permissions
To let non-admins create / edit releases in Jira (delegate this role to certain group of people) you need to navigate to Admin and find Permission schemes.
You can either change the default schema or create an “escalated“ one (recommended).
Click Grant permission.
Scroll to find [Release Management - Project Versions Management]
Decide if you want to assign this permission to either individual, role or group …
Click Grant.
Disclaimer
Note: the above applies only to Release Management App you still can’t create/edit release using Jira standard functionality if you are not project admin.
