[Issue Types, Fields, Screens]
You are using a bulk move operation to migrate issues in a company-managed project from one issue type to another. Identify the two elements that might need to change. (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
A, C
Explanation
Company-managed Scrum projects give teams full control over their backlog, support burndown charts, and allow custom workflow configurations. This lets you set up different QA processes for pre-production and production defects. Team-managed projects have limited customization and cannot easily share schemes with other projects. Company-managed is the only option that meets all four requirements.
[Access, Permissions, Security]
You need to grant members of the Compliance team access to all of your company-managed projects in Jir
a. All the projects were created with a shared configuration and need to remain that way. You must decide if a project role is required to accommodate any of their requirements. Identify the requirement that necessitates the use of a project role.
Correct Answer:
A
Explanation
The filter uses the projectsWhereUserHasRole function, which evaluates based on the recipient's actual role membership. When Leila receives the subscription, the JQL runs in her context and returns only projects where she holds the Sales role. Other sales group members might have access to different projects based on their individual role assignments, so each person sees personalized results.
[Access, Permissions, Security]
George is the project lead of several projects. Now, he needs to create projects but should not have Jira administrator privileges. What does George need?
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation
Project roles are needed when permission requirements vary by project. In this case, some compliance users can delete issues in certain projects but not others. Global groups cannot achieve this fine-grained control because group permissions apply the same way across all projects. Project roles let you assign different users to different permission levels depending on which project they are working in.
[Access, Permissions, Security]
A company-managed project has issue-level security configured, with two security levels. However, Andre only sees one of them in the Security Level dropdown field. Identify a possible reason.
Correct Answer:
C
Explanation
When 'Allow users to share dashboards and filters with the public' is turned OFF, public sharing stops working. Previously public items like the Alpha filter and Omega dashboard become inaccessible to anonymous users. Logged-in team members can still see them if they have project access. The setting only affects anonymous access, not internal collaboration.
[General Project Configuration]
Your team creates issues directly in the Kanban board of a company-managed project. You must ensure that all their newly created issues are not left unassigned. Which entry must you select in the project's Default Assignee dropdown?
Correct Answer:
B
Explanation
Archiving version 1.1 removes it from the available Fix Versions list and automatically moves issues to the next appropriate version. Merging combines version 1.1 with version 1.2, moving all issues there and retiring the old version. Both operations accomplish the task. Releasing also removes a version but typically does not automatically move issues. Deleting is risky and not recommended for active projects.
[System Administration and Administering Jira]
A Jira administrator makes the following changes to User Default Settings:
* Default sharing for filters and dashboards is set to Public.
* Autowatch own issues is set to Yes.
Which two statements are definitely true? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
A, C
Explanation
The team needs to share filter results with colleagues without gaining broader system access. The 'Share dashboards and filters' permission allows them to create and share searches while keeping them from accessing unrelated projects or admin functions. This targeted permission solves their visibility problem without over-provisioning access to sensitive areas of the system.
[Workflows and Automation]
What is being transitioned in the last component of the rule?
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation
Field configurations in company-managed projects control field visibility and requirement status per issue type. You configure them to hide the custom field for Epics, make it optional for Stories, and make it required for Bugs. This is the standard way to enforce different field behaviors across issue types without creating separate fields or using complex automation rules.

FAQ
ACP-120 Exam FAQ
Common questions about the exam itself
What experience do I need before taking ACP-120?
You should have 1-2 years of hands-on experience administering Jira Cloud. You need to understand how to interpret business requirements and translate them into Jira configurations, and be comfortable with workflows, permissions, fields, screens, and automation.
Is ACP-120 hard and what makes it challenging?
ACP-120 tests practical application rather than memorization. The 75 questions within 180 minutes require you to work through scenario-based problems that reflect real administrative decisions like balancing security, scalability, and usability. Many candidates struggle with the depth of understanding needed across all seven objective areas.
Which topic area do most candidates find hardest?
Access, Permissions, and Security is the heaviest domain at 28% weighting and challenges many candidates because it requires understanding how organization, product, project, and issue-level permissions interact across team-managed and company-managed projects simultaneously.
How long should I study to prepare for ACP-120?
Most candidates with solid Jira experience need 4-8 weeks of focused study including hands-on lab work, review of the exam blueprint, and multiple practice exams. If you are new to administration, budget 2-3 months of study time.
What is the passing score for ACP-120?
You need to achieve 63% to pass the exam. That means approximately 47 out of 75 questions correct, though the exact threshold may vary slightly depending on question weighting.
How long does the ACP-120 certification stay valid?
Your certification is valid for 24 months from the date you pass. After 24 months you must retake and pass the exam again to maintain the credential.
What job role does ACP-120 map to and who should take it?
ACP-120 is designed for Jira Cloud administrators and proves you can configure and manage a Jira Cloud instance for any team. It is for people who hold the Jira Administrator or Site Administrator role and need to demonstrate professional competency in that role.
Can I retake the ACP-120 exam if I fail and what are the rules?
Atlassian allows you to retake the exam if you do not pass on the first attempt. You must wait a certain period between attempts as defined in Atlassian's exam retake policy, and you must purchase a new exam voucher for each attempt.
What is the format and delivery method for ACP-120?
ACP-120 is delivered as an online proctored exam with 75 multiple-choice and scenario-based questions. You have 180 minutes to complete it and must take it in a controlled environment with identity verification and monitoring to ensure exam integrity.
How does ACP-120 relate to other Atlassian certifications?
ACP-120 is the foundational Jira Cloud certification for administrators. After passing it you can pursue advanced certifications like ACP-610 for Jira Service Management Cloud if you work in that product. The ACP-600 for Jira Data Center is the on-premises equivalent for those managing self-hosted Jira.
