Summary
By default, all Jira users can view roster data, manage their own notifications and interact with issues (using the Elevator UI panel within a Jira issue). Rosters can only be created and administered by users belonging to a group that has the Global Permission 'Create Shared Objects' (Please see Checking Global Permissions), or users who are members of the Jira Administrators or Jira System Administrators groups.
