Assign worklog to another user

The Create for permission gives users the ability to log work on behalf of other users who have the Work on Issues permission for a given project.

The permission is a part of a permission scheme that is assigned to the project.

In order to access Create for permission, you need to be logged in as Jira administrator.

 

Press the cog icon and choose the Projects option.

In the Projects list, select the project for which you want to administer permissions.

In the left sidebar click Permissions.

Click Actions at the top-right, and then select Edit permissions.

On the section of Time tracking permissions find Create for permission and click the Edit link.

In the Grant permission dialog box, select the user,group or role that should be granted the permission.

And now, selected user, group or role have ability to assign worklog for different user.

 

This is what it looks like in the example

Worklog create screen can be opened from issue view top menu bar (More → Log work). 

or Time Tracking panel (pressing + icon).

Pressing the 'w' key on your keyboard will also open a worklog create screen.

 

Additional feature, except for the two we mentioned earlier (Worklog type and Is billable flag) is Create for which offers the possibility to assign worklog for different user.
