Global permissions
Global permissions, as the name suggests, is the highest permission level in JIRA. These are coarse-grained permissions applied globally across JIRA, controlling broad security levels such as the ability to access JIRA and administer configurations.
Since they are not fine-grained security, global permissions are applied to groups rather than users. The following table lists all the permissions and what they control in JIRA:
|
Global permission level |
Description |

JIRA System Administrators |
This gives the permission to perform all JIRA administration functions. This is akin to the root mode in other systems. |
|
JIRA Administrators |
This gives the permission to perform most JIRA administration functions that are not related to system-wide changes. (For example, to configure the SMTP server and to export/restore JIRA data.) |
|
Browse Users |
This gives the permission to view the list of JIRA users and groups. This permission is required if the user needs to use the User Picker... |
