Understand the user roles

This section defines the user roles within the product. Users with a license will use the product as creators and users without a license will use it as contributors.

The creator and contributor roles in Jira Product Discovery determine which features are available to each role.

Before you begin

• You need to be a site administrator to assign roles

• Users are contributors by default if they have product access to Jira, Jira Service Management, or Jira Work Management.

• To create fields, users also need to have a project admin role for the project.
