JIRA permissions
Before we start working with projects in JIRA, we need to first understand a little bit about permissions. Permissions are a big topic, and we will cover it in detail in Chapter 9, Securing JIRA. For now, we will briefly talk about permissions related to creating and deleting, administering, and browsing projects.
In JIRA, users with the JIRA administrator permission will be able to create and delete projects. By default, users in the jira-administrators group have this permission, so the administrator user we created during the installation process in Chapter 1, Getting Started with JIRA, will be able to create new projects. We will refer to this user and any other users with this permission as a JIRA Administrator.
