Roles & Groups

Roles

When you install the Exply for Jira add-on a new Jira Global Permission called "Can see Exply" will be created. This new role can be added to Jira groups. If this is set for groups all included users can see the "Exply Charts & Reports" menu item when logged into Jira.

If this role is not set for groups, those users will not see nor have access to Exply.

Groups

After the Exply Jira add-on is installed there will be three new Jira groups with the following permissions:

  • exply-administrators
    • all rights
  • exply-analysts
    • allowed to edit Dashboards
    • allowed to see all data
    • can't grant permissions
  • exply-team-members
    • allowed to only see own time records
    • allowed to see all assigned projects and included issues

 All groups are assigned to the role "can see Exply".

The next two groups are Exply internal groups, that don't show up in Jira and are only used for the internal rights management:

  • All Projects Issues
    • Allowed to see all issues of a projects
  • Own Work logs
    • Allowed to only see own time record data

Jira Administrators


All Jira administrators are automatically added to the exply-administrator group.

3 Groups in Jira, 5 in Exply


Within Exply there are five default groups. In Jira only the above mentioned ones are created. The other 2 are only used internally. They are necessary to ensure the whole user management and permissions described above.

Please be aware when editing them. Deleting those groups is not recommended.
