Do I need to use permission schemes?

Permission schemes help you add permission to different operations for users; if you do not need to customize permissions, default permissions will be respected.

Default permissions

When Jira Permission Scheme is disabled
When groups and project roles are empty, all users will have access to all operations, including project-level access.

When Jira Permission Scheme is enabled
By default, no users have access to External Share operations. The project admin must first add permissions.

Which users are affected?

Permission schemes in the context of External Share target the following user types and three layers of access.

Some permissions are ever-present, others may be customized, and some are unreachable.
