Hi,

I have set up security for a client in a way that you have Users | Developers & Administrators, where Developers can do everything Users can + some extra permissions (like creating issues etc). Administrators can do everything that developers can + some extra permissions (like administering the tool). I have done this in all the 6 tools (JIRA, Confluence, Stash, Bamboo, FeCru & Crowd) & it all works, but I have stumbled upon a bug.

I added jira-administrators to the 'JIRA Administrators'-permission & 'Create Shared Objects'-permission. As a consequence, I can't add jira-administrators to the 'JIRA Users'-permission as this is not needed for administrators.

To be able to create a dashboard however, an account has to have the 'JIRA Users'-permission. This makes it impossible to create a dashboard as an administrator with the current permission settings.

As a temporary workaround, I added the people inside jira-administrators also to jira-users. But this is not the way I like it. I would like the jira-administrators to only be placed in the group jira-administrators and be able to do everything a user & a developer can + administration tasks.

Kind regards,
Dimitri
