“Delegated Administration for Jira” is an add-on for Jira by Atlassian, created to allow Jira admins to give non admin users some admin permissions.
Jira admins can give users the following access:

  1. Maintain group users (add/romove users from groups they set as manager)

  2. Maintain custom field values (support for multi/single select, checkbox, radio button), users will be able to:

    1. Add values

    2. Enable/Disable values

    3. Reorder values

  3. Allow users to create projects (Coming Soon!)
