Overview

R4J allows project administrators, as well as Jira Administrators, to restrict the various permissions of individual projects to user groups, roles, specific users, and more. This is possible to do via the Jira Project Permission Scheme.

In your Jira project’s permission scheme, all permissions prefixed with “[R4J]“ are the R4J Permissions that will take effect in the corresponding activated R4J projects associated to the scheme.

To make clear the terminology used throughout the documentation:

  • Old permissions refer to the R4J permissions outside of Jira project permission schemes which are located in R4J project administration page.

  • New permissions refer to the R4J permissions integrated with the Jira project permission scheme which are documented in this page.

If your R4J project is still using old permissions, you can use new permissions by enabling the Use Jira Project Permission Scheme in R4J project settings. This feature is available from R4J version 4.15 onwards.

🖥️ The following video explains the differences between the old and new approaches to R4J permissions: Requirements Management for Jira: Managing R4J Permissions.
