Permissions
Prerequisites
To configure Jira or App permissions, you must be logged in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
Jira Global Permission
Under “System” > “Security” > “Global permissions” there is a "Timetracker Access" global permission after installing the app.
Administrators can manage access to Timetracker pages and functions for specific groups within your organization. If a user does not have this permission, the user won’t see any app related menu item or page in Jira and won’t be able to reach them.
App Global Permissions
These are Timetracker's own permissions, which are related to Timetracker's pages and functions and will only be valid within the app.
To configure a permission:
Click on the permission's input field
Start typing the required JIRA user or group name
Select the user or group from the appearing list
