Create Scope

When creating a new Scope you have to name it and set the Projects, Issue Types, and Groups that you need. Once you set this Scope for a Template, it will make a Template available only in selected Projects and Issue Types for groups of users that you defined.

There are 3 ways to create a Scope:

Create Scope from the 'Create Template dialog.
Create Scope from the 'Edit Template dialog.
Create Scope from a Manage Scopes page.

Using Scope for the Team-Manged Project Types

Working with Team-Managed project types (they are also called the Next-Gen projects) has some peculiarities. The issue types used to be with global entities shared across projects in Jira. Team-managed projects did not exist in the Server/Data Centre Jira. Therefore, for a more comfortable migration from Server / Data Centre to Cloud, the ability to work with Team-Managed projects is limited as they have project-specific configs.
