Manage permissions

The Permissions page lets you control who can view, configure, and manage Time to SLA features.

You can grant permissions to:

  • TTS Admins – A group that you can define that has admin privileges only within the app. Jira Administrators are the default TTS Admins. Once you define a TTS Admins group, you can delegate administrative control within the app without granting Jira Administrator privileges.

  • Specific Jira groups

  • Specific users

  • All logged-in users

  • Anonymous users (if applicable)

  • Or restrict access completely

How permissions are evaluated

Permissions in Time to SLA follow these rules:

  • Granting a higher-level permission (such as Delete SLA) automatically includes lower-level permissions (such as View and Update).

  • If a user does not have View permission for an item, they cannot access it, even if they have related permissions (such as Update or Delete).

Prerequisites

  • Before starting, we highly recommend defining a TTS Admins group that will have admin privileges only within the app. You can do this by clicking the Define TTS Admins button in the top-right corner of the page.

    This way, you can grant users admin authorization only within the Time to SLA app itself, without requiring them to be Jira administrators.

How to manage user permissions

  1. Log in to your Jira account.

  2. Click Time to SLA in the header menu to see the TTS menu.

  3. Go to Permissions. The Time to SLA Permissions screen appears, where permissions for all Time to SLA categories can be viewed.

Below is a detailed explanation of the different Time to SLA menus and their respective access permissions:

Calendar Configuration

These permissions control who can manage Time to SLA calendars.

  • View Calendars – Allows users to view existing calendars. Without this permission, users cannot see or select calendars when configuring SLAs.

  • Create Calendars – Allows users to create new calendars.

  • Update Calendars – Allows users to modify existing calendars.

  • Delete Calendars – Allows users to permanently remove calendars. Deleting a calendar may impact SLAs that depend on it.

SLA Configuration

These permissions control access to SLA definitions.

  • View SLAs – Allows users to view SLA configurations. Without this permission, users cannot access the SLA list.

  • Create SLAs – Allows users to create new SLA configurations.

  • Update SLAs – Allows users to modify existing SLAs.

  • Delete SLAs – Allows users to delete SLAs.

To clone an SLA, users must have both permissions:

  • View SLAs

  • Create SLAs

Notifier Configuration

Notifiers are used to trigger actions such as email notifications, webhooks, or automation when SLA events occur.

  • View Notifiers – Allows users to view existing notifier configurations.

Having permission to create or manage Notifiers is not sufficient to see them. Users must also have View Notifiers permission. Without View permission, notifier configurations will not be visible.

  • Create Notifiers – Allows users to create new notifiers.

  • Update Notifiers – Allows users to edit existing notifiers.

  • Delete Notifiers – Allows users to delete notifiers.

SLA Fields/Panels

These permissions control visibility of SLA-related TTS custom fields.

  • View Time to SLA custom field – Allows users to see the main SLA custom field in work items.

  • View SLA Overdue custom field – Allows users to see whether an SLA is overdue.

  • View SLA Indicator custom field – Allows users to see SLA status indicators.

  • View SLA Overview custom field – Allows users to see the SLA overview summary field.

  • View TTS – SLA dates custom fields – Allows users to see SLA-related date fields (start, end, breach time, etc.).

  • View SLA Panel – Allows users to see the SLA Panel in the work item view.

  • View SLA Overview tab panelAllows users to access the SLA Overview tab.

  • View SLA History tab panelAllows users to access the SLA History tab.

  • View the SLA information button on the SLA Panel – Allows users to see the information/help button inside the SLA panel.

By default, SLA viewing permissions are granted to All logged-in users so agents can see SLA status directly in work items.

SLA Panel Customization

Allows users to customize the layout and behavior of the SLA Panel.

Custom Fields Configuration

Allows users to manage Time to SLA custom fields. Managing includes:

  • Creating new Time to SLA custom fields

  • Editing existing TTS custom field configurations

  • Removing TTS custom fields

SLA Recalculation

Allows users to recalculate SLAs for multiple work items at once.

Report

Import/Export

  • Import SLAsAllows users to import SLA configurations.

  • Export SLAsAllows users to export SLA configurations.

Issue View Menu SLA Actions

These permissions control which SLA-related actions are available from the Issue Actions menu.

  • Perform the "SLA Report" action – Allows generating a report directly from an issue.

  • Recalculate SLA for the issue – Allows recalculating SLA values for a single issue.

  • Perform the "Reset SLA" action – Allows resetting SLA calculations for an issue.

  • Perform the "Undo Reset SLA" action – Allows reverting a reset SLA action.

  • Perform the "Where is my SLA?" action – Allows running diagnostic analysis for SLA behavior.

  • Perform the "Mute SLA Notifications" action – Allows temporarily disabling SLA notifications for an issue.

  1. Click Edit for each permission type, and select a User Type that you would like to give permission to.

    • Select TTS Admins if you want users with TTS administrator privileges to view/create/edit the TTS item.

    • Select Group if you want users in a particular group to view/create/edit the TTS item.

    • Select Users if you want only specific users to be able to view/create/edit the TTS item.

    • Select All logged in users if you want anyone who has logged into the project to view/create/edit the TTS item.

    • Select Anonymous if you want users to view TTS items without logging in.

    • Select None if you don't want anyone to view/create/edit the TTS items.

If you grant a group/user the ability to delete an SLA, for example, they will automatically also be able to see and change it.

  1. Click Save.

The Project Role cannot be selected on the Permissions page. For example, since SLA fields are project-based, you can select the project role on the Permissions page; however, since things like SLA or calendar are not project-based and are global, we do not allow them to be selected for the project role.
