Changing Owner of Jira Dashbord and Query Filters in Atlassian Jira

If you have a dashboard or a query filter in Jira created by someone else, you will not able to edit or make any changes to it as you are not the owner of those dashboards and filters. In order to edit such dashboards and filters, you will need to make yourself the owner of such dashboards and filters in Jira.

It is possible to change the owner of the dashboards and query filters in Jira. Below are the steps for this.

1. Install Plugin 'Script Runner' from Atlassian market place. This plugin is freely available. 
2. Go to Jira Admin - Add-ons. Select 'Built-in script' from the dropdown option.
3. Select and click on the link 'Change Dashboard or Filter Ownership'. This is the script that will do your work.
4. Enter 'From User' and 'To User' fields with Jira Usernames and click Next. 'From User' is the user who currently has the owership of the dashboard/filers. 'To User' is the user to whom the owership needs to be provided.
5. This page will provide the list of dashboards and filters of which the 'From User' is the owner. Select the Dashboard and/or query filter for which you want to change the ownership

6. Click on 'Preview' button to see what filters are getting changed within the dashboard.

7. Click on 'Run' button to execute the script. 

8.  The script will run and on the same page, it will show Result = Completed. This will change the owership of the dashboard and all queries within that dashboard to the names as specified in 'To' field.
