    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Please allow JIRA administrators to see private filters and dashboards in the GUI.
      Some use cases:

      • A user created a filter, forgot to share it, sent the link by mail to some people who should use it, and ran off for holiday. Sure, the people who got the mails will complain. The adminstrator should be able to acces the filter in the GUI and to share it.
      • People who leave the company do not delete their private filters and dashboards before they go. Over time, this relicts will pile up. Adminstrators should have the option to clear private filters and dashboards after a user has left.

      It's not feasible to query the database to find out which private filters exist and who the owners are, and alter the database.

      First, functionalities in the GUI would be more convenient to use.
      Second, you cannot assume that JIRA administrators have access to the database. In our company, I have to contact central administration and ask them if they could run queries and clean up which would be completely unnecessary if I had some more options in the GUI.

            Hi everyone,

            In Jira 8.11, we’re giving Jira admins the power to edit and delete private filters and dashboards. Admins can view and search for all existing filters and dashboards from the administration area.

            • To view filters, go to Administration > System > Filters.
            • To view dashboards, go to Administration > System > Dashboards.

            These pages already existed (Shared filters/dashboards), but until now they only included filters that were shared by their owners. Now, it will also include private filters/dashboards.

            After clicking the filter/dashboard name, you can navigate to it and modify it just like its owner—improve the JQL or gadgets' settings, share permissions, and more.

            With this feature, admins should get full control over obsolete and incorrect filters and dashboards, and can help their users set things right.

            You can download the 8.11 EAP version here.

            Preparing for Jira 8.11 will give you an overview of the changes we intend to make in Jira 8.11.
