Global administration
Once the Delegated Administration for JIRA add-on has been installed and valid license supplied, you can access the Global Configuration screen in the JIRA Administration area.
From this screen, you can set permissions for who can change schemes and which schemes can be handled by non-JIRA administrators. This includes:
- Permissions scheme
- Notifications scheme
- Issue Type scheme
- Issue Type Screen schemes
- Workflow scheme
- Field Schemes
- Issue Security schemes
Who can you delegate administration to?
For all of the types of configurations you are able to delegate, you can set the permissions to reflect the following:
- None - This will disable the switching for this particular scheme
- Project Lead only - Only the single user that is designated as the project lead on the project will have access.
- Users with Project admin permissions - If somebody has access to the project administration functionality (version, roles and component editing for example) they will have access to this feature.
For permissions and notification schemes, an additional permission type allow users to duplicate their current permission or notification scheme and then maintain it themselves.
Scheme selection
For each type you can select which schemes are available for project administrators to select from:
- None - This will disable the switching for this particular scheme.
- All items - This will allow users to select from all of the schemes in your instances
- Exclude certain schemes - You're able to select which schemes should not be available for users to select from.
- Only specific schemes - Select the specific the schemes that should be available to project administrators to select from.
Available Groups
For permissions and notification schemes, the global administrator can manipulate who can select groups to be included when these are duplicated and maintained on a project basis. The same setting as above are used.
Project administration
Once a user has been given permission to a Delegated Administration component the "Delegated Administration" link is shown
Overview
On the project "Delegated Admisnitation" screen, each of the areas is shown with links to Change or Fork an item. If a user doesn't have the proper rights for a certain component (or it has been disabled) it is not shown on this page.
For each item a user can select to:
- Change - allows users to switch the scheme to another scheme
- View History - Allows for quick reversion to a previous scheme.
- Fork the scheme (only available for Permissions and Notification schemes) - Clones the scheme and allows for local editing of it.
Duplicating and maintaining Permissions and Notification schemes locally
If a user elects to Fork a permission or notification scheme, they're presented with a dialog for a new name.
Once this has been done a new Edit option appears. From this the user can add permissions or notification targets.
At any point they can revert the forked scheme back to the original. This will then flip it back (if possible) and delete the forked scheme.
