Summary

Do I need a Creator license to perform administrative tasks in Jama Connect, even if I only need read-only access?

Resolution

Yes. Most administrative functions in Jama Connect require a Creator license, even if you only need read-only access to project content.

This is because administrative roles, such as Organization Admin, are designed to manage configurations, processes, and other settings that may require making changes.

Depending on your organization's licensing configuration, you can use either a Named Creator or a Floating Creator license.

For more information about administrative roles and licensing requirements, refer to the Jama Connect documentation: Administration (Help Guide)
