             Summary: Still can't add anyone into roles for the DIRECTORY projects and similar
                 Key: INFRA-11671
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11671
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: JIRA
            Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
            Priority: Critical


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 !
