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
Who can you delegate administration to?
For each scheme type listed above, you can set the permissions to reflect the following:
- None - This will disable delegation for this particular scheme
- Project Lead only - Only the single user that is designated as the project lead on the project will have access to configure this scheme.
- 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 configure the relevant scheme.
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 scheme type listed above, you can granularly configure what options are available to project administrators or leads (whoever is delegated to):
- None - This will disable delegation for this particular scheme.
- All items - This will allow users to select from all of the relevant schemes in your instance.
- Exclude certain schemes - JIRA administrator is able to select which schemes that SHOULD NOT be available for others to select from.
- Only specific schemes - JIRA administrator is able to select the specific the schemes that SHOULD be available for others 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.
