Differentiate report and jira admins

This article explains the difference between the admin designations.

Report owner

A user who created a report or was assigned as its sole owner can:

1. Modify the report’s content and source

2. Change its sharing type (the available sharing types are described in a related article)

3. Add or remove report admins

4. Delete or archive the report

Report admin

A user designated as a report admin can perform the same actions as the report owner, except deleting the report.

Report admin access is useful when a report needs to be updated, regardless of the owner's availability. For example, a report admin can:

• Update the report's source or date range.

• Add or remove users or user groups for limited or private reports.

• Add or remove other report admins.

Jira system admin

A user with Jira System admin permissions can perform all the actions listed above and can also make the following changes:

• Set default Time Zone settings for all reports, as explained in a related article.

• Restrict access to the Worklogs Report app and worklog data for users or user groups.

• Add an integration with Timesheets by Tempo, a third-party application, as shown in a related article.

• Transfer report ownership, as shown in a separate articled.

• Delete any report.

Jira admin access is useful when changes occur in your organization’s Jira environment, for example:

• When a report owner needs to be reassigned

• When Time Zone settings must be updated after part of the team relocates internationally

• When a client needs access to Jira and to specific private or limited-access reports (the available sharing types are described in a related article)

Along with admin permissions, other factors can affect your access to a report, as described in a separate article. A Jira admin can check whether a user has the required Jira and App permissions to view the full report, including access to the work item, filter, and any other report sources.
