DoIT Shared Tools - JIRA - Add Users to Project via Roles
Project Leads and Administrators (Admins) will be guided through the steps of adding users to their Projects by means of the Project Roles function. This way, if a user needs to be added to a specific role, Jira Admins will not need to intervene, everything can be handled internally by Project Staff.
Is the User Brand New to JIRA?
Ask the employee who is brand new to JIRA to:
- Complete the steps in this document, DoIT Shared Tools - JIRA - New User Self-Enrollment and Access.
- Local Project Admin that this step is complete
- The Local Project Admin will now be able to add the newly enrolled user to their JIRA project.
Project Admins May Assign User to a Role
