The Permissions guide explains the Jira permissions required for users and administrators to view Git Integration for Jira Cloud data on Jira issue and project pages. Use this page when Git data is missing from Jira or when you need to confirm which Jira permission grants access to commit and diff information.
| Access need | Required Jira permission or group | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| View commits, branches, and pull requests on Jira issue pages | View Development Tools |
Administrators must grant this to themselves too |
| View code diffs with the default Jira permission scheme | Membership in the developers group |
Applies when the default permission scheme is still in use |
| View Git Integration content for a project | Project-level permissions configured in Jira | Permission names can vary by Jira setup |
How Git Integration for Jira Cloud permissions affect commit visibility
Users must have the View Development Tools permission to view commit information on issue pages.
Administrators must also grant themselves this permission to view commit information.
Users must belong to the developers group to view code diffs when using the default permission scheme.
When setting permissions, keep the following in mind:
- Permission names may differ depending on your Jira version.
- Configure project permissions on the project administration page. Different projects may have different permissions.
- The default permission scheme grants access to the app for all members of the administrators and developers groups. No additional configuration is required in this case.
