Project Permissions
You need to have Jira administrator permissions to grant any of these Project permissions.
Please note that this page applies to Jira company-managed (classic) projects. For more information on Jira team-managed (next-gen) projects, see Jira Team-managed Project Permissions.
Project permissions are project-level Jira permissions that affect access to Jira projects, their issues, and worklogs in Tempo. These are part of typical Jira project management tasks managed through the Jira permission schemes.
For more information about how to manage Jira project permissions, see Managing project permissions in Atlassian Jira's documentation.
When you install a Tempo app, there are several basic Jira project permissions that you need to grant to all Tempo users. As well, Tempo adds some of its own permissions to the Time Tracking permissions (for Tempo Timesheets) that you need to grant to Tempo users.
Make sure that the atlassian-addons-project-access project role is granted all permissions in the Permission Schemes used for all of your Jira projects in order for Tempo Timesheets to function properly.
To grant Project permissions:
Make sure you have Jira Administrator permissions.
Go to Project - Project Settings - Permissions to view the permission scheme associated with the project.
You can also go to Tempo Settings > Permission Overview, click the Projects icon, then select the link to open the Permission Schemes page.
To modify the permission scheme, open the Permissions link in the Actions column.
Find the permission you want on this page, such as those in the Time Tracking permissions section (see the table below), and then Update which groups are granted the permission.
