How do settings differ based on space type?

The biggest difference between team-managed and company-managed spaces is who manages their settings.

In team-managed spaces, teams set up and manage their workspace independently. They update their space's settings without the help of a Jira administrator. These spaces are ideal for teams who want to try different working methods as they mature.

In company-managed spaces, Jira administrators set up and manage a team's workspace. In these spaces, teams ask a Jira administrator to update their space's settings. Company-managed spaces help organizations promote and enforce best practices across many teams.

How you configure access, roles, and permissions in team-managed spaces differs from their company-managed counterparts. In team-managed spaces, permissions (like who can create an issue or who can change due dates) are tied to a space role. Everyone who has access to your space must have a role. Permissions and role settings are unique to each team-managed space.

In company-managed spaces, Jira admins grant permissions to individuals, groups, or space roles through a mapping called a "permission scheme". This scheme is typically used across many spaces. Find out about permission schemes.
