Global Permission

You can build this with Forge

Jira global permission is available in Forge, our next-generation cloud app development platform.

This module allows add-ons to define custom global permissions.

Global permissions are not related to any particular entity and are useful if you need to manage permissions for operations performed on global objects, like users or global settings.

A custom global permission behaves as any other Jira permission. Administrators may manage it in the UI, and your add-on can access it through REST APIs. Permissions you define in your add-on can be used in the has_global_permission condition.

Note that there is a similar module for project permissions.

Description

A key to identify this module.

This key must be unique relative to the add on, with the exception of Confluence macros: Their keys need to be globally unique.

Keys must only contain alphanumeric characters and dashes.

The key is used to generate the url to your add-on's module. The url is generated as a combination of your add-on key and module key. For example, an add-on which looks like:

1
2
3
4
5

8
9
{
    "key": "my-addon",
    "modules": {
        "configurePage": {
            "key": "configure-me",
        }
    }
}

Will have a configuration page module with a URL of /plugins/servlet/ac/my-addon/configure-me.
