Grant permission to bulk transition issues

[Sheri]

We are using Jira cloud version. I am set up as an administrator and a site-admin. I need to perform bulk transitions. 

On the project permissions page 'Transition Issues' permission has been granted to the Group site-admins, but when I go to the Bulk Operation wizard I see N/A for Transition Issues and 'NOTE: You do not have permission to perform a bulk transition ..'

Please let me know what setting I need to change where so that I can perform bulk transition. 

Many thanks, 

Sheri

Bulk Changes are a Global permission. They are found under 
Settings
System
Global Permissions

Make bulk Changes.  Make sure you are in one of those groups or use the Add Permission at the bottom of the page to add a group.

Dear Kimberly,

I am in administrators group and administrators group have granted to use bulk actions in global permissions. However I can not do bulk actions.

Hi Shari,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Check your workflow to see if you have any restrictions on it that only allows a specific user/project role/group to perform the transition.

Hi Mikael, 

Thank you for the warm welcome, and for your answer. The problem was indeed with our workflow. We have it sorted out now.

Hi,

Under Global permissions, you can see Make bulk changes permission. Please check this permission for whom all this have been enabled.

You can check global permissions @ /secure/admin/GlobalPermissions!default.jspa path of your cloud instance

[Sheri]

Thanks for the suggestion. It turned out the problem was with our workflow restrictions, not with the bulk changes permissions.

This was handy for those of us not experiencing workflow challenge :D

Er... now I've completely lost permissions altogether... odd:

This is why I LOVE making great use of community... after changing 30 issues manually I "got off my arse" (still sitting down actually, LOLz) and looked up the Bulk Changes on Community.....🤩🥇👍

Check this beauty of a screenshot ! !
