[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-11671) Still can't add anyone into roles for the DIRECTORY projects and similar

-------------------------------------------

Hi Gavin,

I *can* add users this way, but considering that I may have to do so in all the projects, it's really painful. I was expect to be able to add a new user to the committers role, and have her/him being granted that role. At least, that was what the Infra page says... I had the perception that now, JIRA is using role-based authorization for projects...

Also note I have no use of the Directory-developers group, as I have no idea who is in it, and no way to change that. It's a group we created when we were allowed to be the Jira Administrators, something we are not anymore (thanks god !). I'm going to remove this group from the list on the project pages, but I think we can simply delete this group.

Thanks !

> Months ago, I have requested to be able to add users to roles, or to get rid of the specific roles we are using, on which I have no control, not being a JIRA administrator. 
> I still can't do that, and this is a recurrent issue for the new committers we vote in.
> This [page|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Role+Based+JIRA+Authorization] claims that we can add users to a standard role, but I can't simply see the 'view' link which is supposed to be in the 'far right'. Is JIRA now using the ASF LDAP server to detect the committers/PMC members ? Or is the JIRA role based system fed when we modify the ASF LDAP server ? 
> Bottom line, what we want is a way to add a new committer into a role, for every PMC members. If that mean we doom the specific Directory Schema, then be it.
> This problem exists for the following projects, to some extent :
> * DIR
> * DIRSERVER
> * DIRAPI
> * DIRGROOVY
> * DIRKRB
> * DIRSHARED
> * DIRSTUDIO
> * ESCIMO
> * FC
> * FTPSERVER
> * MAVIBOT
> * DIRMINA
> * SSHD
> * VYSPER
> Many thanks !
