      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently when you delete a permission scheme within JIRA, there is no backup / copy made of the permission scheme. It is simply removed from JIRA. If JIRA would make a backup / copy of the permission scheme being deleted, this would help Administrators in recovering / rolling back changes. This would work the same way JIRA makes a copy of a Workflow.

      Current behavior
      Click Delete for permission scheme
      JIRA asks if you really want to delete the permission scheme
      Click Delete to confirm
      Permission scheme is deleted

      Requested behavior
      Click Delete for permission scheme
      JIRA asks if you really want to delete the permission scheme
      JIRA indicates that a copy of the permissions scheme will be created
      Click Delete to confirm
      Permission scheme is deleted
      Copy of permission scheme shows up under 'Inactive Permission Schemes' popup

            Thanks Marty,

            At this time we do not plan to implement this in JIRA as we currently treat deleted data as being permanently deleted. If you delete an issue, it works the same in that we do not archive or soft delete the data.

            I would suggest taking period backups of your instance and in the event you need to access a deleted scheme, you could then access it from the backup. If whole instance backups and restoration doesn't work for you, perhaps try this plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.awnaba.projectconfigurator.projectconfigurator

            Cheers,
            Jason
