"new project creation" permissions
Asked by Erman Koyuno?lu:

Hi,

I want to give permission to create new projects only to certain users among the Jira users in the company. How can I make this authorization?

allowing Jira users to create certain projects without giving them Jira administrator permission is a long standing feature request with Atlassian. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-1431>

While it is possible with team-managed projects, it is not possible for company-managed projects without addon.

Therefore we built an easy to use addon [**'Project Templates for Jira'**](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230303/project-templates-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) that allows to give specific user groups permission to create projects based on custom project templates.

It has many more feature, in regards to project setup (like project content cloning with placeholders) and has a 30 day free trial without feature limitation, so give it a try and let us know if you have questions.

In fact, can I grant the authority to create a new project that only exists within the active Jira User belonging to the company I requested? For example, I want to give permission to create projects to only 3 people out of 50 Jira users. The remaining 47 people do not have the right to create a project. Is it possible ?

Or if you want to be more precise, create a custom project template (by cloning a project for example) and limit the user group to only be allowed to create projects from that specific project template, so you stay in control what types of project they will create.

To achieve this, you need to create a group and add the required Jira users to that group, then assign the "**Administer Jira**" permission to that group under Jira Settings \> System \> Global Permissions \> Administer Jira

body: Yes [@Joe Pitt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/822427) this is exactly what I want to do. I have been examining the settings for a week, but I think such authorization does not exist :(

body: [@Erman Koyuno?lu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5552627) No it does not. There might be a plugin that does it that I'm not aware of. I've never wanted to do that. Unless you're creating basically clones of other projects, creating a project is much more involved then just creating it initially. It often entails creating field configuration schemes, workflows, various screens, etc. that you do not want anyone besides the Jira admin to be doing.
