Add your team to team-managed boards
This page is for team-managed projects
To check whether your project is team-managed or company-managed, select More actions (•••) next to the project name in either the header or the sidebar. At the bottom of the menu that opens, you’ll be able to view whether your project is team-managed or company-managed.
If you're in a company-managed project, check out these company-managed project articles instead.
More about the difference between company-managed and team-managed projects.
Add team members to your team-managed board
Your team members must first be added to your Jira Cloud site with access to software projects before getting access to your board. For more information, see Creating, editing, and deleting users in the Jira admin documentation.
Via a work item on your board
Open a work item and assign it to someone (as long as you've already added them to your Jira Cloud site) to add them to your project.
The work item: Select a card to view the work item’s details.
Assignee: Click the assignee field and select a team member. They will be added to the board and assigned this work item.
On the board
Navigate to either your Board or Backlog and at the top of the screen, select Add people.
Via Project settings
From your service project, select Project settings, then Access, then People and access.
On the page, click Add people.
Assign roles
Roles (also known as permissions) control what each person can see and do on your board.
From your service project, select Project settings, then Access, then People and access.
When you click Add people on the page, you'll be prompted to select each person's role from the drop-down menu:
You can edit their roles (or permissions) at any time by choosing from the drop-down list beside their name. You also have the option of removing people from your board by clicking Remove.
Filter work items on the board
Filters show you specific work items, and hide the rest.
Filter via search: Enter a search term to only show work items containing that text.
Filter by assignee: Click someone's avatar to filter by assignee.
Flag a work item for attention
Flagging a work item informs your teammates that a work item needs extra attention. For example, you could use a flag to indicate that you don't have capacity to finish a task, or to indicate that a work item is blocked and you'll work on it later.
On team-managed boards, flagged work items are shaded yellow:
To flag a work item:
Hover over a work item and select more (). You can also select multiple work items at once by holding Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac).
Hit Add flag.
