Create a new space role

When using permission schemes, Jira admins can grant permissions to a role in a space as a placeholder that can later be defined by the Space admin. Jira refers to these as Space roles. More about space roles

To create a new space role:

1. Select Settings (), then System.

2. Under the Security section, select Space roles.

3. Under Add Space roles, enter a role name and description.

4. Select Add Space roles to save it.

Once created, include it in your permission scheme. When a user is assigned to that space role in a Jira Cloud space or in a Jira Service Management space, they’ll inherit this permission.

Automatically add a user to a role in new spaces

As a Jira admin, you can automatically add user to a space role in new spaces.

To add users or groups to a space role in all new spaces:

1. Select Settings (), then System.

2. Under the Security section, select Space roles.

3. Select Manage Default Members in the Actions column of a space role you want to edit.

4. The next page shows any existing default users and groups in this role. Select Edit.

5. Add or remove users or groups:

   1. To add a user, start typing in the box beneath Add user(s) to Space role, then select a user. Select Add to save your change.

   2. To add a group, either type the name into the box (which won’t return any group names) or select the icon next to the text box to show a list of available groups. Select Add to save your change.

   3. To remove a user or group, select them from the list, then select Remove.

6. Once you’re done, select Return to viewing space role to return to the previous screen.
