Let teams spin up spaces, without spinning out of control

When your company is growing fast, space requests can pile up just as quickly. Admins become bottlenecks, teams wait on approvals, and consistency starts to slip as people find workarounds. Delegated permissions for space creation let admins safely hand off space creation to trusted users and groups – using approved templates – so teams can move faster without sacrificing control, structure, or security.

How it works

Empower teams with approved templates
Instead of routing every new space request through central admins, you can now create approved space templates that reflect your best-practice setup: fields, permissions, and workflows included. From there, delegate who can use each template to spin up new spaces. Teams get a simple, guided way to create the right type of space for their work in minutes, while admins stay confident that every new space starts from a safe, consistent foundation.

Tailor delegation down to the team and template
With delegated permissions, admins don’t have to choose between total lock-down and a free-for-all. You can get as granular as you need: give each team access only to the specific templates that match their work, and nothing else. For example, marketing can create campaign spaces, support can spin up triage spaces, and engineering can launch release spaces—each with its own setup, fields, and guardrails. Delegation is per-template and per-group, so you stay firmly in control of who can create what, while every team gets a fast, self-serve path that’s tailored to how they actually work.

Reduce tickets, keep control, and scale with confidence
By moving space creation into delegated, template-based flows, admins cut down on repetitive “Can you make us a space?” tickets and manual setup work. At the same time, they retain oversight of which templates exist, who can use them, and how new spaces are structured. The result: teams get what they need faster, admins get their time back, and your Jira instance grows in a controlled, predictable way instead of becoming a wild west of one-off configurations.
