We’re updating our terminology in Jira

The term ‘project’ will soon be replaced with 'space'. You may notice some inconsistencies while we make this change.

View and edit space role permissions

You can use space roles to easily associate people and groups with a particular space. For example, you may want to send notifications to a specific set of people associated with your space, and by adding them all to a space role, you can then use that space role to control who receives the notifications. You can also use space roles to restrict how much access certain users or groups have. Unlike groups, which have the same membership throughout your app, space roles have specific members for each space

This page contains instructions for managing membership of existing space roles. Here’s how to create and use space roles.

Viewing and editing space role members

  1. From your space's sidebar, select Space settings, then select People. In a team-managed service space, select Service space settings, then select People.

  2. You'll see all the people and groups associated with each space role. 

  3. To add people or groups to a space, select Add people. Enter the users or groups and select the space role(s) you wish to add them to. 

People and groups can be part of more than one role. In the Role column, use the dropdown to select and unselect the roles a person or groups is assigned.

To remove a person or group from a space, select Remove.

Since group membership can only be edited by users with the Administer Jira global permission, space admins may prefer to assign users, rather than groups, to their space roles.
