It would be nice if the pro version could have this feature as well.

This should be extended to create a poweruser permission level. This level would allow superusers to assign powerusers the permission schemes they can operate under. This scenario allows the powerusers to fully operate as a data administrator thereby alleviating system admins from having to do data administration as is the case now.

I'd like to add my vote to this issue. I work in a large company, and we don't want to proliferate Big-Chair access all over the place. But we DO want lots of people to be able to create new projects. Is this a planned feature?

This would be a really useful feature

This would be tricky, I think. Because obviously they would need the ability to edit the project to set schemes and so forth, and the current interface allows editing existing schemes too.

To me, JIRA Administrators have access rights to everything while Project Administrators have the abilities to create/delete/edit projects. I also believe that a Project Administrator should be able to select schemes, just not edit them.

I would love to see this added. I have people I want to be able to create projects but I don't want to be able to edit various schemes.

It would be nice to have a permission that allows a user to create projects and assign existing schemes to them but not edit the schemes.

On project creation the creating user should be project lead.

I disagree with the priority (set to minor right now) of this.

We'd like to not grant jira-administrators privilege to project/technical managers who only need to be able to create projects and not necessarily see the rest of the administrative controls.

This was reported in 2003. Are you guys planning on implementing this anytime??

Hi,

Due to the large number of other popular requests we currently have no concrete plans to implement this feature.

In my opinion this is one of the basic features and must be implemented.
Even simple free CMS systems have possibilities to make several "admin" levels and specify what administration features will be available for particular user/group.
Why I should give administrator rights to the PM? Sounds really irrational.

We have met that problem, there are many project need to be created by JIRA administrator. we also hope a seperate permission of create project , which can be assigned to project leader.

I have the same problem. This sounds like basics to me, why is there not any solution for it yet?

I agree. I'm new to Jira, and just started setting up Jira 4 for use by my organisation. I have wasted a good bit of time looking for a way to allow project managers to add projects without giving them all the other permissions associated with system administrators, thinking "it must be there somewhere, why can't I find it?". I'm absolutely gobsmacked that this was first suggested six and a half years ago and still (even after a new major release) it has not been implemented. Surely it can't be that hard to implement?

Adding my vote for this feature. No need for non-sysadmins to have sysadmin level rights just to create a project.

About six years Atlassian can't implement this simple feature...
So, I think Atlassian don't know about working with many small projects. It's bad, very bad...

Adding my vote for this feature. we need a role for creating a project.

Addning my vote here. I don´t want to give administrator-rights to enable this function for users.
