Add Roles to Global Permissions

[Ana Aramburo S. P S L]

Is there a way to add more roles to the global permissions and have them customized to one's needs? Something like an administrative role but with less privileges?

I think the question is about https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-3156?

[Pablo Arango]

Thanks Nic, but we are not sure if it addresses our need. What we need in detail is for project leads and some other roles within a project to be able to creade custom fields and assign them to the project configuration. Is that possible?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

JRA-3156 is about delegating permissions to do admin stuff to lower levels. In other words, exactly what you're asking for...

You can't do this.

Role memberships are per-project. It's not a global thing.

If this was allowed, it may even cause security issues as well. For example, how would it be if a project manager was able to grant JIRA system administration permission to a client in his project?
