What permission is needed to add people to a project?

Frederik Wallner January 25, 2012

Hi!

What permission is needed to add people on the following screen?

Project Lead, Administer Projects and Assign Issues permission isn't enough, the administrators are still the only ones able to add people.

If I add a user to the administators on the whole system it works but if I add them as administrators for that project it doesn't.

Please help.

It depends on the permission scheme. Normally, the project role Administrators is the correct option here.

Check the permission scheme for the project - possibly someone has modified the default permission scheme (bad idea).

Also it doesn't look like you're in the project admin section from that screenshot...

I see. I think I should clearify :

User A is in user group administrators in the system and user B isn't.

The project is configured to add everybody in user group administrators to the role Administrators for the project.

The permission scheme only contains mappings for roles, no user groups at all.

User A can now add people and user B can't, just as expected. But if I add user B to the Administrators role for the project he still can't add users! He can modify the project except for the users!

I now realize that this view have something to do with some time-tracking plugin, the question remains...

This view is related to the tempo plugin and not jira itself.

Yep, that makes sense. In that case ignore my answer above.

No problem :) Thanks for trying! Got confused with the built in time tracking vs tempo...
