Installing the Add-on
The Delegated Project Admin Pro for JIRA add-on is available in the Atlassian Marketplace. It can be installed via the Universal Plugin Manager in JIRA.
Once the add-on has been installed a valid license has been supplied, a JIRA administrator can access the Delegated Project Admin configuration pages by choosing Add-ons from the JIRA administration menu and then locating the Delegated Project Admin section in the left sidebar.
Selecting what to delegate
The first step in configuring the Delegated Project Admin add-on is to adjust the settings on the Select What to Delegate screen to indicate which configuration types can be modified by your delegated project administrators.
There are 2 possible modes for delegating certain aspects of project configuration to delegated project administrators, as noted by the left and right sections of the screen:
- Guided Path, which allows them to switch a project from one scheme to another.
- Self-Service, which allows them to define a "Process Template", which is a set of configuration options that can be applied to a project. These configuration options include switching from one scheme to another and also editing a scheme to customize its behavior as desired.
The changes resulting from Self-Service mode can have a more significant impact on a project than Guided Path mode. Hence, it is best to use caution when configuring Self-Service mode. That being said, the Delegated Project Admin add-on ensures each change – from either mode – can be rolled back by a JIRA administrator or a delegated project administrator.
An administrator can choose to delegate only via Guide Path mode, only Self-Service mode, or both. Please note that your selections on this screen will not be put into effect until you have selected your delegated project administrators on the Select Who to Empower screen.
Guided Path
For each scheme type shown in the Guided Path section, click the icon to open a Delegation screen:
From this screen, you can configure which options are available to trusted project administrators:
- None (Delegation disabled) - This will disable delegation for this particular scheme.
- All existing schemes - This will allow delegated project administrators to select from all of the relevant schemes in your instance.
- Exclude only specific schemes - This allows the JIRA administrator to select which of the relevant schemes SHOULD NOT be available for delegated project administrators to select from.
- Include only specific schemes - This allows the JIRA administrator to select which of the relevant schemes SHOULD be available for delegated project administrators to select from.
When "Exclude only specific schemes" is selected, you can select each desired scheme in the "Select schemes to exclude" dropdown and they will appear at the bottom of the popup.
Click the icon next to a scheme to remove it from the list.
When "Include only specific schemes" is selected, you can select each desired scheme in the "Select schemes to include" dropdown and they will appear at the bottom of the popup.
Click the icon next to a scheme to remove it from the list.
Click Close when you are through making changes. This screen will be dismissed and the Select What to Delegate screen will be updated to reflect your selections.
Self-Service
The Self-Service section allows you to select which issue types, fields, workflows, statuses, and groups will be available for your delegated project administrators to select when adjusting their own Process Templates in Self-Service mode.
For each of these items, click the icon to open a Delegation screen:
