Summary
In Jira 7.3, we'veextended the project administrators permission so that project administrators can now edit their projects workflow under certain conditions. In Jira 7.4, this setting can be enabled/disabled in the permission scheme. This document details how this can be done in the UI and using the REST API.
Version
Jira 7.4.x
Solution
Jira UI (Option 1):
Navigate to cog icon > Issues > Permission Scheme.
Click the desired Permission Scheme link.
Uncheck 'Extended Project Administration' to disable or check to enable.
REST API (Option 2):
Obtain the ID of the Permission Scheme you'd like to update. You can do this by navigating to cog icon > Issues > Permission Scheme and clicking on the desired scheme.
ℹ️ The ID is at the end of the URL (schemeId=1234). For example, the ID of the following permission scheme is 1234: http://localhost:8080/jira/secure/admin/EditPermissions!default.jspa?schemeId=1234
Use a PUT request with the following data to the URL:

Body Content Type: "Content-Type: raw/text" Authorization: Basic Authentication Body Content: false (to disable), true (to enable)
