      Atlassian Update – 21 August 2024

      Hi everyone,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your challenges around project creation permissions. After a thorough review by the team, we have decided that we will not be able to implement this suggestion in the next 12-18 months. We will be maintaining this ticket's status as "Gathering Interest" in order to continue learning from all of you about pain points and challenges relating to this suggestion, and will continue to re-visit this ticket in our ongoing product planning.

      We recognise that privilege escalation can be a major challenge in using Jira, which is why we are taking steps to improve the flexibility of our permission scheme at all levels. That journey begins with our Extended Project Admin capabilities, which will be released by the end of this year, and which we hope will be just the first step in making Jira permissions more granular and powerful.

      We understand that this is not the update you may have been hoping for, especially given the longstanding nature of this issue. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or feedback.

      Regards,
      Aditi Dalal

      Original request description:

      Currently, I need to give my project manager the jira-administor permission in order for him to create new projects. Unfortunately, this opens up the possibly of him doing other stuff, like changing the mail server. Not that he would, but when you give permissions...
      Suggestion: Make Create New Project a separate global level permission.

      Workaround in case you need to track project creation events

      Consider using Webhooks, which offer the ability to receive callbacks for project creation events, or even use an Automation rule that will send an email when a project is created:

      Those could give you the ability to track project creation events in case there is a concern of having admins creating projects when they shouldn't. That does not prevent the action but at least gives visibility.
