Groups Configuration - Access to p. + Product adm. (?)

[Chiara Spadavecchia]

Hi,

the flags "Access to product" and "Product Administration" allow to do what?

I didn't found an explanation in practice.

Thanks

Hi @Chiara Spadavecchia ,

Access to product means consuming a license in order to use the product.

Product Administration provides the user with permissions to configure the product, but it doesn't provide access to the product nor consume a license, unless you also add that user to a group that provides with Access to product.

More info on this topic.

Hope it helps.

What "Product Administration" means without Access to Product? Without access you cannot configure anything

[Ignacio Pulgar]

I think the only thing that can be configured without product access to Jira is User Management (site-admins group by default), for managing users and groups without actually consuming a license.

So you are right: most of the times product access needs to be granted to administrators so they can perform the typical Jira Administrator tasks.
