Setting Up User Permissions and Roles

This page is about Assets & Inventory Plugin for Jira Cloud. Using Server or Data Center? Click here.

The App Permissions section allows you to grant permissions for the app menu page and control who can use the import and export functions. You can also define an AIP Admins group with admin privileges only within the app.

Prerequisites

  • You must be a Jira administrator to carry out the instructions on this page.

  • Before you begin setting up app permissions, we recommend defining the AIP Admins group.

AIP Admins: This group has admin privileges only within the app, allowing members to access all features and functions within the app but not have admin privileges outside of the app. AIP Admins can manage assets and inventory within the app, including creating, updating, and deleting assets and asset types, as well as configuring plugin settings, setting up user permissions and roles, and more.

Click Define AIP Admins to manage who is in this group.

To Configure App Permissions:

1. In the Jira navigation bar, click Apps > Assets and Inventory Plugin for Jira Cloud.

2. Click Settings in the AIP navigation bar, and then click App Permissions.

3. Click the pencil icon to edit the permission. The Edit Permission screen appears.
