A JIRA project role is a flexible way to associate users and/or groups with a particular project.
Unlike groups, which have the same membership throughout JIRA, project roles have specific members for each project. Users may play different roles in different projects.
On this page:

- Click the 'Administration' link on the top bar.
- This will display the Administration page, showing a list of projects which you have permission to manage. Click the project of interest.
