As a JIRA/GH administrator, I would like to be able to specify who is allowed to create and start a sprint independently from the "Administer Projects" JIRA permission

      Atlassian Status as at 22 February 2016

      This feature is now available for both JIRA Software Cloud and JIRA Software Server.
      The server release version is 7.1.0, please see the server release notes for further details.

      Previously we had discussed the intention to consolidate the add or remove an issue from sprint into the Manage Sprints permission. However, we have determined that this will not be a workable solution for many of you. More details in comment #872704 below.

      Kind regards,

      At the moment, creating and starting a sprint (from the Rapid Board) is based on the "Administer Projects" permission. This does not make much sense for us, as the JIRA/GreenHopper administration is not done by the Scrum team themselves, but they need to be able to manage their sprints on their own.

      Therefore, we need to specify which users/groups/project roles are allowed to start a sprint independently from the "Administer Projects" permission.
      To be honest, the reliance of GreenHopper on JIRA permission feels often inadequate and I hope that you find a way to manage GreenHopper permissions independently (this relates to GHS-1787, GHS-3928).
      As long as this is not possible, maybe there is a way to at least separate starting a sprint from the "Administer Projects" permission? E.g. by adding a "Manage Projects" permission in JIRA that allows some of the things included in the "Administer Projects" permission?

            This would be a very useful feature. I'm all for it as it would enhance sprint backlogs greatly and reduce the overhead of work-arounds(dragging issues across projects). It will also encourage/help collaboration between different teams/projects.

            I agree with you Matti, however, this is what was mentioned in the comment as the solution. My real problem is that the action should NOT be linked to the Schedule issue permission (as it is now), as this controls the right to edit/view the due date. Hence, connecting it to Manage Sprint permission, I could give this permission to all project members, and still have external users editing the due date, without having the right to add/remove issues from the sprint.

            There are different views on this and some Jira users like me prefer the open approach where the team members are allowed in the tool to do this without the need to request the scrum master to do it. This is especially important when your team switches scrum master often. Therefore it would not be good from my view to link adding issues to a sprint into this permission.

            We are using JIRA Server 7.1.9. However, users with Schedule Issue but WITHOUT Manage Sprint permission, are still allowed to add issues to the active sprint.
            So if this issue was suppose to fix this problem also (as mentioned in multiple comments), it is still not fixed and should be reopened.

            Hi paul.thomas1 - the origin board based permissions are in place, they are in the Server 7.1 release and also Cloud.
            Further updates would be either in the documentation space, release notes or other related issues here on JIRA.Atlassian.com
            Below are links to the documentation for permissions:
            Server: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRASOFTWARESERVER071/Permissions+overview
            Cloud: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/permissions-overview-764478244.html

            To better understand your questions for the behaviour above, could you please create a support ticket at https://support.atlassian.com
            That way we can provide you with support specific to your circumstances and with higher security. The credentials to access the Support site should be the same as this one (jira.atlassian.com).

            Hi @mjopson,

            In your comment, under "Consistent Permissions", you mention that this feature will move to all sprint related permissions being based on the projects visible under a board's filter. I've just been experimenting with JIRA Software 7.1.0#71003 and this doesn't appear to be the case. A couple of specific things I have noticed, for a Scrum board looking at two projects (i.e. board filter is "project in (PROJA, PROJB) ORDER BY Rank"):

            1. If "User A" has all permissions in PROJA but none in PROJB, they can still create sprints on the board (it seems the list of projects checked is based on those the current user can see). If User A is granted Browse Project permissions in PROJB (but nothing else) then they cannot create sprints (I have PROJB issues in the Backlog, I haven't checked if this is still the case if I remove them).
            2. Sprint start/stop permissions still seem to be based on the issues added to that sprint, i.e. User A can start/stop a sprint on the above board provided no PROJB issues are in the sprint.

            Have the "origin board" based plans been abandoned? Or will they be in a later release? And is this the best place to keep an eye out for updates?

            Thanks very much,

            Paul
