Overview

As JIRA Administrator, you can grant any users the Group Delegation Management since the features of Users and Group Management for Project Manager are driven by Custom Permissions. 

  • The Global Permission Manage Group Delegation allows to define who can create Group Delegations
  • A set of Project Permissions allows users to acquire some privilege on Delegated Groups identified by the Group Delegation for a Project. 

Global permission Manage Group Delegation

  1. Go to System of the Administration pages
  2. In Security section, access to Global Permission
  3. Select the Manage Group Delegation and the group to be granted 
  4. and click Add
  5. Repeat for each other groups


The permission can be granted to Non Admnistrators ! It means that you have to delegate this permission to trusted people.

In case of first steps, it is better to keep this permission to administrators.

Project Permissions on Delegated Groups 

As JIRA Administrator, you will be also in charge of specifying which Users/Project Roles/Groups will be allowed to benefit the Project Permissions on Delegated Groups.
