Atlassian Certified in Managing Jira Projects for Cloud (ACP-100) — Question 43

Your business owners have told you to use roles as much as possible in Jira because it allows them to do things that groups cannot do.
When considering this, you need to be aware of those actions in Jira that require the use of groups rather than roles.
Identify two actions in Jira that require the use of groups. (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. allowing users to use transitions in all the workflows
• B. granting Project Administration rights
• C. granting permissions to teams coming from Active Directory
• D. defining Issue Security levels
• E. granting system administrative rights
• F. controlling who can perform Bulk Change in a project

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct actions that necessitate the use of groups are granting Project Administration rights (B) and defining Issue Security levels (D). These actions cannot be assigned through roles because they require a broader scope of access management that is only achievable through group permissions. The other options, while important, are not limited to group assignments and can often be managed through roles or do not require groups specifically.
