There is no way to do this.  Administration rights means you have admin, and delete project is part of that.

Any plugin to grant only to create project and modify projects configuration like an admin?

Just found this: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211157/delegated-project-creator-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

 

Anyhow as Nic says, they either are an admin or they are not. If you go with some plugin then you still have to remove their admin privileges.

 

Another thing that comes to mind is you can source a javascript on the whole instance to straight up remove or hide the "Delete project" link in the interface, with a bit of effort.

 

Yes you can still craft a URL to delete a project, but it would remove it from the interface. There are I think 2 locations for this if I'm not mistaken - the project administration page(s) themselves and the "Manage projects" view.

There are actually three instances on DC version.
The two which you correctly mentioned above and the third one which is in the archived projects section.

Can you provide me the JS to patch in the announcement banner which can hide the delete buttons on all three pages?
