For more information, see http://extranet.atlassian.com/display/HDS/%27JIRA+Manager%27+Permission

• For DevSuite, we will need a permission level similar to Global Administrator except with some permissions removed.
• Permissions to be removed are those which could jeopardize the file system or hosted environment.
• For the install product, a typical use case is where a top-level administrator wants to delegate some administration privileges to a manager, team leader, etc., but not those which could jeopardize the application environment, network, etc.
• We would like to add a permission level, hierarchically between 'JIRA Administrator' and 'JIRA User' which we refer to as 'JIRA Manager'
• We would like this permission to have access to the same Administration functions as 'JIRA Administrator', except with the following changes to the JIRA Administration menu:

• Global Settings
  • Attachments: remove 'directory' setting
  • CVS Modules: remove entirely
  • Global Permissions: remove entirely
  • Mail Servers: remove entirely
  • Trackbacks: remove entirely
  • Workflows: remove 'import' feature
• Import & Export: remove entire section
• Options & Settings
  • Jelly Runner: remove entirely
• System
  • Indexing: remove entirely
  • Integrity Checker: remove entirely
  • LDAP: remove entirely
  • License Details: remove entirely
  • Listeners: remove entirely
  • Logging & Profiling: remove entirely
  • Plugins: remove entirely
