Administration UI locations

If your app needs to provide a configuration or administration screen, we recommend adding a link and page to the Apps section of Jira administration (global settings).

Available locations

For web sections:

• admin_plugins_menu

For web items:

• On this page, you should always define a web section for your app first, even if you only provide one link. This allows your app to have a visually distinct section in the navigation. Therefore, the location for your web item will always be your web section key. See the sample descriptor JSON below.
