Managing project access and permissions in the Jira suite.

What are project roles?

Project roles are a flexible way to associate users and/or groups with particular functions and projects. Users are assigned project roles by the project lead for each project, and these roles are used in permission schemes to assign permissions to a user within that project.

Project Leads can view their permissions schemes to see the specific permissions associated with each role for their project.

Project leads can grant people or groups specific access and additional roles in their project:

You must confirm that the user has a license for the product you want to give them access to. They will not show up as an option when you try to add them if they do not have a license. You will have fill outa form requesting a license rom your project's sidebar,
Select Project settings > Access.
Select Add people.
Type a name, group, or email address.
Select the person's role in your project from the Role dropdown.

In general, Project Leads should assign the Project Team role to the people working on the tasks in the project, Read Only to the people that they want to see the work being done, and Project Lead to other people on the team that they want to have the same permissions they have.
Select Add.

If you have a large team of people that need to be added to a project, you can request an AD group be created that can then be used to control access and permissions to and for projects and spaces. Request an Atlassian AD group
