How to grant READ ONLY access to a some JIRA administrators ?

[Naveen Kumar D P]

We might have to share the administration configuration  , so some user should be able to see the administration screens without having the possibility to change anything.

Could you please answer if we can create a new group that will provide the read-only access on administration?

Thanks

Not possible, as far as I know.

Perhaps you could get your webserver to block POSTs (but not GETs) on admin page URLs that should be read-only. Something like this (with Apache mod_rewrite; untested):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/secure/admin/IndexAdmin.jspa RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{X-AUSERNAME} jimmy
RewriteRule ^ /banned_operation.html?user=%{X-AUSERNAME} [R=302,QSA]

Jeff is right, it's impossible without rewriting the core of JIRA's admin access scheme.

Your users can see a lot of the config from the project headers though.

Jeff & Nic Thanks for your promt answer.

Is this possible in Confluence and Bit Bucket  to give the read only access permission to Administrators ?

Thanks

Nope, sorry.

Hi Team, do we still can not create jira-admin read-only group so that some user should be able to see the administration screens without having the possibility to change anything?

Please confirm if this feature available in any latest version of jira ? 

Thanks
