You must have the Jira System Administrators global permission before you can carry out the instructions on this page


Before you can setup the Project and the Issue Types that involve approval steps, you must set up the users who are involved in approval processes.

The Approval Administration screen allows to assign Approvals to Project Roles, Groups, Users, Issue Reporter, Assignee and Project lead.

You can reuse an Approvals across different Approval Mappings. 

You can define complex configurations concatenating multiple properties.

Furthermore, you can exclude users (E.g. Require approval of users in the group Quality Assurance with the exclusion of the reporter).


Overview

The Approval Administration screen allows you to add, edit, manage advanced settings, delete and review your approval configurations.

The Approval Administration screen looks like as follows:

In details:

    • Approval Name: It identifies the approval and once it's created it cannot be renamed;

    • Roles: It shows which project roles have been selected;

    • Groups: It shows which groups have been selected;

    • User: It's which users have been selected;

    • Reporter: If the reporter has been selected, the flag will show;

    • Assigne: If the assignee has been selected, the flag will show;

    • Project Lead: If the project lead has been selected, the flag will show;

To require approvals in an Approval Mapping, you need first to create them.

Here's how to do it:
