Jon needs to create groups and manage membership in groups.

Creating groups and managing group membership in Jira Software Cloud are system-level tasks that require theJira administratorprivilege. This privilege allows Jon to access user management settings and perform group-related actions.

Explanation of the Correct Answer (Option D):

TheJira administratorprivilege grants users the ability to manage global settings, including creating groups and managing their membership. This includes adding or removing users from groups, which is necessary for Jon’s requirements.

Exact Extract from Documentation:

Jira administrator permissions

Jira administrators can manage global settings, including:

Creating and deleting groups.

Adding or removing users from groups.

Managing global permissions and user access.To create or manage groups:

Go toSettings > User management > Groups.

Create a new group or edit existing group membership.Note: Only Jira administrators or organization admins with user management permissions can perform these actions.(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage groups in Jira Cloud")

Why This Fits: TheJira administratorprivilege directly enables Jon to create groups and manage their membership, making Option D the correct choice.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Organization admin (Option A):

Organization admins manage the Atlassian organization, including user access to products and billing. While they can manage users and groups at the organization level, creating groups specifically in Jira requiresJira administratorprivileges unless the organization admin also has this role.

Extract from Documentation:

Organization admins manage user access, billing, and security at the Atlassian organization level. Managing Jira-specific groups requires Jira administrator privileges.

Product Admin role for Jira (Option B):

TheProduct Adminrole for Jira grants access to manage product-specific settings, such as user access to Jira Software. However, creating and managing groups is a system-level task that requiresJira administratorprivileges.

Extract from Documentation:

Product admins manage user access to specific products (e.g., Jira Software). Group management requires Jira administrator or organization admin privileges.

(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage product access")

System administrator (Option C):

The termsystem administratoris not a standard role in Jira Cloud. In some contexts, it may refer toJira administratorsororganization admins, but it is not a distinct privilege for group management.

Extract from Documentation:

Jira Cloud uses roles like Jira administrator and organization admin. There is no distinct “system administrator” role for group management.

(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage users and groups")

Project administrator (Option E):

Project administrators manage settings for specific projects (e.g., permissions, components) but cannot create or manage groups, as these are global settings.

Extract from Documentation:

Project administrators manage project-specific settings but cannot access global settings like user or group management.

(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage project permissions")

Additional Notes:

Jon’s tasks require access toSettings > User management > Groups, which is restricted toJira administrators.

If Jon is also an organization admin, he might have overlapping permissions, but theJira administratorrole is the most direct for group management in Jira.
