I am a new recruit in a company, and i have rights as a Project Administrator. However, i discovered that i cannot create issue types. I was wondering if there's a way to configure my (demo) project without getting Jira Administrator role.
Basically, i want to learn through a demo project, without the risk of messing with the company's already existing projects configurations.
What do you suggest?
Hi Dimitris, and welcome to the community!
Project Administrators do not have permissions to create new issue types, so this will always require the help of a project administrator.
If your company has access to sandboxes the safest way to experiment is to request access to a sandbox, including jira administrator permissions for that sandbox. This environment is separate, so you won't impact anything else.
If your company uses Team Managed projects that is another good option. Team Managed projects have their own configurations that only affect that specific project, so this would be another relatively safe way to test.
If a team managed project is not an option then a dedicated demo project will also provide some guardrails to prevent you from affecting any existing configurations, but as you already discovered company managed projects come with some limitations.
Hope this helps!
