🔑 Configuring Custom Permissions

Custom permissions allow administrators to define who can view, manage, and edit checklists and checklist templates independently of Jira permissions.

Default permissions:

• Users who can view an issue can view checklists and templates.

• Users who can edit an issue can create and edit checklists and templates.

Managing Custom Permissions

Permissions are configured per project and apply to all issue types within that project.

Only users with the following Jira permissions can manage Checklist permissions:

• ADMINISTER

• ADMINISTER_PROJECTS

• SYSTEM_ADMIN

An admin can grant permissions based on:

• Jira project roles

• Jira groups

• Individual users

Multiple roles, groups, or users can be selected. 

If a user belongs to several groups or roles with different permission levels, the most permissive setting applies.

Assigning Permissions

To set custom permissions:

1. Go to Project settings (Space Settings) → Apps → Checklist for Jira Cloud.

2. Enable Custom Permissions using the toggle.

3. Under each permission type (View Checklists, Manage Checklists, and Manage Templates), select who can perform the action.

If custom permissions are enabled but not configured, all checklists will be view-only until permissions are assigned to specific users, roles, or groups.
