Permission schemes

Permission schemes allow you to limit or extend access of users to information and actions. On Approval Path for Jira, you can benefit from permission schemes on the space and work item levels.
You can find out more about permission schemes here.

Permission schemes help you customize user access to information and actions; however, if you do not need to customize permissions, Approval Path has a default permission scheme in place.

Space and global administrators can view the Approval Path space settings page and manage definitions:

• Manage Approvals in the space - This will allow the user to view the space settings page.

• Add new Approval definition - This will allow the user to create new approval definitions.

• Edit existing Approval definition - This will allow the user to edit existing definitions.

By default, all users who can view the work item can view the Approval Path section and perform all approval actions on the work item, which include:

• View Approval Path - This will allow the user to view the ongoing approval path.

• Start new Approval - This will allow the user to start a predefined approval path from the list.

• Parametrize Approval - This will allow the user to change parameters when starting a new approval.

• Archive Approval - This will allow the user to archive the existing approval path.

• Delete Approval - This will allow the user to delete the existing approval path.

As an administrator, you can navigate to the global settings of Approval Path,

1. Click on the “Apps” → Approval Path

2. Select the “Settings” tab

3. Select the “Permissions” tab
