Permissions Dialog

Permission Dialog can contain four options depending on permission.

*Owner - Always present in permissions - cannot be removed.

Template Permissions

Create

The user that has this permission can create new Templates.

Edit

The user that has this permission can edit Templates that are available (visible) for him in Jira.

You can extend a list of the visible Templates that the user can see by setting “View all Templates” permission for the user.

Delete

The user that has this permission can delete Templates that are available (visible) for him in Jira.

You can extend a list of the visible Templates that the user can see by setting “View all Templates” permission for the user.

Change owner

The user having this permission is able to change the template owner.

View All

The user that has this permission will see all Templates in Jira.

The user that doesn’t have this permission can only see his own Templates and Templates that are available in projects accessible for the user.

Scope Permissions

Create

The user that has this permission can create new Scopes.

Edit

The user that has this permission can edit any available Scope.

Delete

The user that has this permission can delete any available Scope.

Hierarchy Permissions

Create

The user that has this permission can create a new Hierarchy.

Edit

The user that has this permission can edit any available Hierarchy, except the case when the permission option is set to the Owner, which only allows editing Hierarchies created by the user.

Delete

The user that has permission can delete any available Hierarchy, except the case when the permission option is set to the Owner, which only allows deleting Hierarchies created by the user.

Apply

The user that has this permission can apply Hierarchies.

There are three permission conditions:

- current permission is enabled for the user/group in the row

- current permission is disabled for the user/group in the row

- current permission can’t be set for the user/group in the row

For example in this case:

1. John Doe is a member of a jira-software-users group, but he has his own permissions granted: he is not able to create templates, but can edit, view, and change the owner of every template that is created. He is able to delete only templates he is the owner of.

2. Members of the jira-software-users group (except John Doe) can create templates, but ‘Edit’, ‘Delete’, and ‘Change’ owner actions are available only for templates every user of this group is the owner of. The ‘View All’ permission is disabled so every user of the software-users group will be able to see only see his own Templates and Templates that are available for the group he belongs to.

3. Members of the site-admins group can create templates and can edit, delete, view, and change the owner of every template that is created.

4. The ability to apply templates can’t be changed, so it is available for everyone.
