Kickstart project onboarding, by having the correct users and group assigned to the correct project roles directly after creation. Project Templates for Jira allows to automatically assign the project creator, specific users and user group to project roles with every created project. To do that admins can either specify a ‘Project role assignment source project’ to clone existing project role assignment from, or predefine a set of new custom project role assignments.

New projects created based on this template will automatically assign the specified user, groups and project creator to the specified project role.
The assignments for the project role can be ‘Edited’ or ‘Deleted’ using the action buttons.
Editing or deleting predefined project role assignment, does not affect already created project role assignments in existing projects.
View or hide project role assignments to non-admins
Displaying user names to non-admin Jira users through project role assignments could raise privacy concerns. For this reason, project templates won't exhibit the project role assignment tab to non-admin Jira users by default.
You can adjust this behavior using the ‘Show project role assignment (view-only)’ toggle. This toggle allows you to control whether non-admin Jira users can access project role assignments in a read-only mode. Read more about customizing what information is displayed to non-admin Jira users.
