Global permissions
Site-wide permissions granted only to groups, such as Jira Administrators or Create Shared Objects; they apply across all projects and cannot be assigned to individual users in Jira Cloud.
Audit log
A site-level record of administrative configuration changes in Jira Cloud, filterable by category, user, and date; it does not record normal issue edits or comments.
Create Shared Objects permission
A global permission that lets users share filters, dashboards, and agile boards with groups or all users; without it, saved items stay private to their owner.
Atlassian account ID
A unique, immutable identifier for each user in Jira Cloud that stays constant even when the display name or email address changes, and which APIs and permission records reference.
Project role
A project-scoped container for users and groups used in permission and notification schemes; unlike a group, role membership can differ from project to project.
Group
A site-wide collection of users managed in Atlassian Administration, reusable across all projects and used for global permissions, application access, and permission scheme grants.
Deactivating a user
Removing a user's product access while preserving their issue history, comments, and mentions; Jira Cloud deactivates or removes accounts rather than hard-deleting them.
Apps access project role
The built-in atlassian-addons-project-access role used by Marketplace apps; removing it from a project breaks app functionality such as custom fields, workflow integration, and panels.
Team-managed project
A project type whose settings are self-contained and edited by project administrators without shared schemes; simpler to configure but more limited than company-managed projects.
Company-managed project
A project type that inherits shared schemes for issue types, workflows, fields, permissions, and notifications, allowing one configuration change to affect many projects at once.
Project key
A short prefix that begins every issue key in a project, such as PROJ in PROJ-123; it is fixed at project creation and cannot be edited afterwards.
Project category
A label that groups related projects for organization, appears in JQL as category = "Name", and can be used to filter project pickers and reports.
Field configuration
Defines whether each system or custom field is required, optional, or hidden for the issue types mapped to it through a field configuration scheme.
Issue type scheme
Defines which issue types are available in a company-managed project and which one is the default; every such project has exactly one issue type scheme.
Screen scheme
Maps the create, edit, and view issue operations to specific screens; an issue type screen scheme then links each issue type to that screen scheme.
Custom field context
A configuration scope for a custom field covering chosen projects and issue types, carrying its own options, default value, and description; one field may have several contexts.
Workflow scheme
Associates each issue type in a project with a workflow; several issue types may share one workflow, and one workflow may serve many projects.
Transition condition
A rule evaluated before a transition is offered; if it fails, the user cannot see or execute that transition from the current status.
Transition validator
A check run after conditions pass that blocks the transition and shows an error when its requirement is unmet, such as a required field being empty.
Post function
An automated step that runs after a transition completes, for example setting the assignee, updating a field, adding a comment, or firing an event.
Global transition
A transition defined without a source status, making it available from any status in the workflow; commonly used for actions like Close or Reopen.
Permission scheme
A reusable set of grants assigning project permissions to users, groups, and project roles; each company-managed project is associated with exactly one permission scheme.
Issue-level security
Restricts individual issues to specific security levels; a user must belong to the issue's level to see it even when holding Browse Projects permission.
Browse Projects permission
The foundational project permission; without it a user cannot see the project or any of its issues, no matter which other permissions are granted.
Set Issue Security permission
Allows a user to choose or change an issue's security level, but does not by itself grant visibility to issues sitting at levels they do not belong to.
Notification scheme
Maps issue events such as create, comment, or transition to recipients including users, groups, roles, reporter, assignee, and watchers, determining who receives email.
Watcher
A user who subscribes to an issue to receive its notifications; they must additionally hold Browse Projects permission on that issue to actually get the email.
Email visibility setting
A site-wide privacy option controlling whether users can see each other's email addresses, which also affects whether JQL can search issues by email.
Autowatch
A personal user preference that automatically adds that user as a watcher to issues they create, comment on, or are assigned to.
Automation rule actor
The user whose permissions a rule's actions run under; if the actor is deactivated or lacks a permission, actions such as transitions fail.
Smart values
Placeholders such as {{issue.key}} or {{now}} that inject dynamic data into automation actions, with functions like toUpperCase and jiraDate transforming the output.
Scheduled automation rule
A rule triggered by a cron schedule that runs a JQL query and acts on matching issues, typically used for stale-issue cleanup or recurring reminders.
