Starting with version 1.5.0 we add a feature that will change the name of the Template owner.

How to change the Template owner name if you are the current owner:

  1. Go to Templates => Manage Templates

  2. Select a Template you want to pass to another owner

  3. Select a new owner in the Owner field of the Template Details section

  4. Click Update button on the lower panel of the dialog

Users without this Browse Users Global Permission would still be able to add users to the field by explicitly providing the exact username - but will not have auto-suggest working for them.

If the Owner field is inactive, please contact the administrator for receiving the right permission.

How to change the Template owner name if you are not the current owner:

If you are an Administrator of Jira Administrator:

  1. Go to Templates => Permissions

  2. Click Edit Permissions button in the upper right corner of the dialog

  3. In the Template Permissions section, find the Change Template Owner item and click Edit

  4. Activate Users checkbox and select the users that have to have this permission

  5. Click Grant button in the lower part of the dialog box

  6. Make sure that the user has the Edit Templates permission

If you are not the administrator, ask the administrator to conduct steps 1-6 for you.

After that:

  1. Go to Templates => Manage Templates

  2. Select the Template name that needs an owner

  3. Select a new owner in the Owner field in the Template Details section

  4. Click Update button in the lower part of the dialog box
