Archiving and Read-Only

[_tl_]

Am I right in thinking that a JIRA project cannot be both archived and left available as read-only for users? 

To have it be read-only, the project would be left in place and the user permissions changed to read-only.

Hi,

Yes, you are right - to make it read only you should update the permissions.

if you archive it, no one can view it - you can check https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/archiving-a-project-938847621.html section: 'What happens to a project after you archive it?'.

Thanks Manuela

That will help me get our users talking the right JIRA language in the future.
