View Checklists on the ‘Manage Checklists’ page

The checklists list differs for different user and depends on the two criterion:

  • ‘Manage Checklists’ permission granted. The ‘Manage Checklists’ page is not available for the users who don’t have the ‘Manage Checklists’ permission granted.

  • ‘Available for' field value on the 'Create Checklist’ dialog

For instance, the ‘New’ checklist can be available for Anyone, specific Group/Groups or specific User/Users depending on the item selected for it.

The display of the checklists on the issue view page is determined according to the value set in the 'Available for' field of the 'Create Checklist' dialog

The jira-administrators group members are able to view all the checklist on the ‘Manage Checklists’ page if they are granted the ‘Manage Checklists’ permission on the 'Smart Issue Templates Permissions' page.
