Here is the procedure I must follow when creating a new JIRA project:

• Add new users (if there are any new).
• Create 2 user groups:
  • projectX-administrators
  • projectX-developers
• For each user add them to the correct groups (either administrator or developer or both).
• Create a new permission scheme.
• Modify the permissions in the permission scheme so that the two new groups have access to various actions.
• Create projectX.
• Associate the new permission scheme with projectX.

Huhh

It would be very nice if all of these operations could be made from a SOAP interface. Then we could write a GUI tool that would allow easy setup of new projects (with groups, correct permissions and all).

An alternative would be to have more Jelly tags to support the operations.
