Unfortunately selecting the second checkbox (Personally enabled) did not work for me. The option never "stuck". And if you check Global, then regular users will see Entity Properties for Issues, which may confuse or alarm them:

HOWEVER, it turns out that if you leave Global unchecked, but the add-on is still installed, you can still access things like Entity Properties for Projects via a URL like:

https://YOURHOST.atlassian.net/projects/YOURPROJECT?selectedItem=com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-connect-plugin%3Acom.atlassian.connect.entity-property-tool.prod__project-entity-properties-general-page

And from there, you can view/update/add properties.
