# Jira Permissions

* **Permission name:** May differ, depending on your version of Jira. For on-premises Jira the permissions interface is similar to Jira Cloud, but the might look slightly different.
* **Project permissions:** Are configured in the project administration page and may differ, depending on their project permission scheme.
* **Cloud Jira:** Has specific team-managed projects, where permissions are defined for roles and then roles are assigned to users. Role permissions are similar to project level permissions defined in the permission scheme.\
  **Settings > Projects > Target Projects > Project Settings > Access > Manage Users/Roles**
* **Default permission scheme:** Grants access to add-on for all the members of administrators and developers groups. No additional configuration is required in this case.

## Additional Jira Cloud Requirements

To ensure a successful integration with Jira Cloud, the user whose credentials are used during the connector integration process, must have the **User** role for the relevant Jira product.

Most Jira projects are associated with either Jira Software or Jira Service Management. To prevent integration issues, assign the **User** role to the user for both products. This role provides the necessary permissions to make API calls.

**To check your user role:**

1. Sign in to Jira Cloud as an administrator.\
   Make sure you have the required permissions to manage users.
2. Go to **Settings** > **User Management**.
3. Search for the user whose credentials are used in the connectors.
4. Select the username to open their profile.
5. Under **Product Access**, confirm that the user has access to the relevant Jira product.
6. Verify that the user role is set to **User** for the applicable product.
