A Jira application project role is a flexible way to associate users and/or groups with a particular project. Unlike groups, which have the same membership throughout Jira applications, project roles have specific members for each project. Users may play different roles in different projects.
For all of the following procedures, you must be logged in to Jira as a project administrator.
Viewing project role members
- Go to your project and click Project settings.
Select Users and Roles.
Assigning a user or group to a project role
- Go to your project and click Project settings.
Select Users and Roles.
- Select Add user to a role from the top right corner.
Search for the user or group you wish to add, and select the project role you wish to add them to.
Note that the Browse users and groups global permission is required to search for existing users or groups at this step. If you do not have this permission, you will need to specify the exact name or email address.- Select Add.
Removing a user or group from a project role
- Go to your project and click Project settings.
Select Users and Roles.
- In the user's or group's entry on the table, select Remove.
