XMLWordPrintable

      Users who do not have admin access should be able to upload a CSV file to 'bulk create' issues. This could be done via the project panel

      It would need to be a very restricted version of JIM and we would have to be careful that the import does not create new fields, statuses, users, etc.

      Restrictions for such capability should include:

      • no new project creation
      • no user creation
      • no new issue types, resolutions, etc.
      • no new fields
        (Basically limit then the importer so that it creates just pure issues)

            Hello matt.doar@servicerocket.com

            We did add new CSV Importer under Issues top menu, but it's very different one from the old CSV Importer available only for administrators. We even call it differently -> Bulk Create.

            It alows to bulk create issues via CSV files. It checks all permissions and security features before import and allows only to add values to fields that are available in Craete Issue Dialog (which can be configured from Settings -> Screens). In other words it only allows to create issues that user is able to create via "Create" button anyway.

            We didn't implement any switch-off, because we didn't consider that it's necessary for our customers. Yet, it's not the first place where we are asked about it, so I'll create an improvement request for that and implement it in near future.

            Cheers,
            Przemek

            I see this feature is appearing in JIRA Importers (JIM) 6.2.3 but I'd like to know more about it. Who exactly is given permission? Can system select fields such as resolution and priority have their options modified? And how can I disable it, since for large JIRA instances this could be a very big problem.

            An update to the docs for this at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Importing+Data+from+CSV is what I'm really looking for
