• JIRA Server: 
  • JIRA Global Admin-this permission is encouraged as it will provide you with optimal performance
  • normal JIRA user account- will require the following permissions
    
    • Defect Integration: you will need "Create Issue" and "Link Issues" permissions in the mapped project(s) for mapping JIRA issue types. This permission can be set in JIRA Project's Permission Schemes. 
    • Requirement Integration: you will need the "Browse Projects" permission in the mapped projects. This permission can be set in Jira Project's Permission Schemes. 
    • Release Integration: you will need this permission to edit Versions and Sprints for a project.
