We're updating our terminology in Jira

'Issue' is changing to 'work item'. You might notice some inconsistencies while this big change takes place.

Roadmap permissions

Roadmaps are only available for Jira Product Discovery Premium plan.

This set of permissions enables roadmap owners to play with the level of openness or restrictions in their roadmap as well as enabling them to have more control on the editors and audience. Roadmap owners can:

  • Edit the roadmap details: edit the roadmap name, emoji and description, add and remove projects.

  • Create and configure views (add a view, add groups, filters, sorting, edit fields).

  • Change the permissions level of the Roadmap.

Any licensed Jira Product Discovery user can:

  • Create their own roadmap

  • View all other roadmaps

Any licensed Jira user can:

  • View all roadmaps

Steps

  1. Next to a roadmap name click () > Roadmap settings.

  2. On the side panel click

  3. Configure your permissions. By default, the roadmap permission is set to limited.

There are three level of permissions 

  • Private - Only selected users can view or edit.

  • Restricted - Everyone can view, only selected users can edit.

  • Open - Everyone can view and any creator can edit.

Ideas permissions

Ideas in a roadmap have the same permissions than in their projects. If a user doesn’t have edit ideas permission in a project, they won’t be able to edit ideas in a roadmap view, even if they are the owner of the roadmap.

Editing ideas in roadmaps

Any creator who has the right to edit an idea in the context of a project can also edit the idea in a roadmap view.

Viewing ideas in roadmaps

Users who don’t have access to a Jira Product Discovery project won’t be able to see its ideas in a roadmap. They can ask the project admin to grant them project access to see ideas in the context of the project and of the roadmap.
