Global Permissions

You need to have Jira administrator permissions to grant any of these Global permissions.

Global Permissions are high-level Jira Global permissions that are applied to the Jira site on which your Tempo apps are installed. When you install a Tempo app, several of Tempo's own permissions (described below) are added to the Jira Global Permissions page. Tempo's Access permissions are about giving people access to Tempo products and specifying the key people for administering Tempo for your company. As with Jira Global Permissions, you grant Tempo Access permissions to groups of Jira users.

For the best experience with Tempo, you may want to create different Jira groups for your Tempo needs according to your company. Then, it's easy to add or remove users from these groups as situations change: no need to grant permissions on an individual basis.

Make sure that the atlassian-addons-admin group is added to all the Global permissions listed in the table below.

To grant Global permissions for classic Jira projects:

Make sure you have Jira Administrator permissions.
Go to Jira settings > System > Global permissions.

You can also go to Tempo Settings - Permission Overview, click the Global icon, then select the link to open the Jira Global permissions page.

At the bottom of the page, under Grant Permission, select the Tempo permission you want (see table below).
From the Group list, select the group to which you want to grant this permission, then click Add.

To grant Global permissions for Jira Team-Managed Projects:

Select Project Settings - Access in your team-managed project.
