Global Permissions refer to high-level access rights within Jira Cloud, specifically for sites where your Doctor for Jira apps are installed. When you install the Doctor for Jira app, new permissions are introduced and displayed on the Jira Global Permissions page. These permissions, known as Doctor for Jira Access permissions, are designed to manage access to AppForge products and designate key individuals responsible for administering Doctor for Jira within your company. Jira Global Permissions permissions are granted to Jira user groups.

To optimize your experience with Doctor for Jira, it is recommended to create distinct Jira groups tailored to your company’s requirements. This approach simplifies the process of adding or removing users from these groups as situations change, eliminating the need for granting permissions individually.

To change Global Permission:

1. You have Jira Administrator permissions
2. Go to Jira settings > System > Global permissions
