When editing groups, you will be able to select option Create new schemes. This option specifies if actual Jira schemes (e.g. permission, notification) in Vacation manager project will overwritten by new schemes created with new groups. If the option NO is selected, old schemes with old groups will remain assigned to project and administrator should modify them yourself. If option YES is selected new schemes will be created and assigned to project but these schemes do not base on an old ones. Instead, it will be composed of basic Vacation Manager schemes without any changes provided by user in previous schemes. Previous schemes will not be deleted, so administrator should do it yourself. We recommend to leave this option checked as YES to avoid future problems with modified groups' permissions.
