Where in project I can fix settings so i can delete issues from a project, currently I can not.

Hi!

I've noticed that there is no option to delete  permanently an issue or in bulk issues in a specific project in Jira. How can I change settings to be able to do it?

Many thanks!

Hi @Vera Valshonok ,

You need to modify the project permission scheme to ensure that the Delete Issues permission is granted to the appropriate users or roles. Here’s how to do it:

1. Modify the Project Permission Scheme:

   • Go to Jira Settings > Issues > Permission Schemes.
   • Find the Permission Scheme that is associated with the project where you want to enable issue deletion.
   • Click on the Permissions link for that scheme.

2. Grant the "Delete Issues" Permission:

   • In the Permission Scheme, look for the Delete Issues permission.
   • Click the Edit link next to it.
   • Assign the Delete Issues permission to the appropriate role, group, or individual user who needs to be able to delete issues.
   • Save the changes.

Note: You would need product admin permissions to modify permission scheme.

How do I check which permission scheme has this specific project I need?

To find the name of the permission scheme used by the project:

You can navigate to project settings > Summary :

or, if you open any permission scheme from global settings, you get to see the list of project assigned to the scheme:

Thanks! I don't see summary part in my project.

Looks like you are using a Team managed Project. You should be able to manage permissions from within Access Settings of the project:

Thanks a lot! It worked!
