ZOMG please implement this.  Had to open a PS ticket just to find out which filter a user made private and locked out the rest of their team.

I vote for this...

Actually too just being able to sort by admin name on board listing page would help tremendously.

So is there still no way to filter for Kanban/Scrum boards by searching for a user listed as one of the board admins? It's a bit perplexing as to why this type of permission isn't granted to a Jira Administrator. 

Curious on why the search option is available for "shared filters" and "shared dashboards" within Jira's settings to filter for a owner, but not as an option when searching for (either) an owner/admin for the boards? 

Any possible workaround ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Simply put, the model that is easiest for Atlassian or works in their mind is not how business works. The risk created by removing control of user names to over-comply for GDPR is not justified. This is apparent here, as well.

The argument that it's a better security model falls flat on its face when you consider that an admin that is responsible for ensuring that a former employee/client/vendor/contractor is removed from access company confidential information. Controlling access to company assets is a valid business reason to have identity access. Non-public boards/filters/projects should have visibility by admins for the administration part.

Atlassian, please fix the cases where admins can't control who has access to these things. To do that, admins need to be able to see and manage access. This does not mean that they need to be able to view content. This part, the filters, are one of the worst offenders of this.

Please fix

Same problem and surprised this has still not been even picked up - it creates a big administrative hole that shouldn't be there in enterprise-level software.

This is a mess and still not fixed after nearly 4 years?

We have boards were we group different projects by meaning and every project lead is board administrator and has to change the filter when new projects are added. Every time the filter is changed, the human does not think about filter share settings (why should he?) and as a result, nobody can see the board except him!
A very simple problem solver would be to add a note in red that when you change the filter, you shall revisit the filter permission. Or why can't the filter belong to the board or the board admin group and not the user?

It is ridiculous that we don't get information since 2 years.

This buggy behavior is totally inconsistent, since usually an Admin (e.g. in Confluence) can see anything

I've just spent 2 hours on the same thing.

We had a Board administered by the same person as the underlying JIRA Project; but one of his team could not see this Board.

Cause: This Board's Filter was changed to a bespoke filter, and the Filter author forgot to share it out; it was only for him, and therefore not even me as JIRA Admin could find this board or Filter.

Now.... imagine that this person then left. This means there's a LOT of hidden (to JIRA Admins) "me only" Filters and therefore Boards.

I had to, almost ridiculously (he laughed when I asked) for him to send me a screen-clip of his Board > Configure > General > Filter so I could see, mechanically, what was going on (the Filter name was obscure).

It shouldn't be like this for a JIRA Admin.... or should it? As JIRA Admin, people come to me as people would go to a system administrator (and we'd log on as root to get the detail we need)
