The Scheduler for Jira Cloud
Note: In v3.2.0, we changed a bit permissions behaviour to match the Data Center / Server behaviour. Now users with ‘Administer project’ permissions, but without ‘Create issue' permission (even without ‘The Scheduler: Use’ permission), can access the Scheduled Issues table and preview all Scheduled Issues, with special warning banner.
In other words: project admins gets more visibility.
Project permissions are managed in two ways:
Jira administrators manage project permissions for company-managed projects through permission schemes.
Project administrators manage project permissions for team-managed projects through custom roles.
Every company-managed project has a permission scheme. A permission scheme grants users, groups, or roles their permissions in company-managed projects.
The Scheduler transitions from Access Manager into “Jira style” permissions with support for Global and Project custom permissions. What to expect from app with given/lack of permissions?
This page discusses what are the types of errors to be expected when some global/project permissions is missed or extra added in settings of Company Managed Project.
Permissions:
1a. App’s global permission: The Scheduler: Access
1b. Browse project permission.
1c. App’s project permission: The Scheduler: Use
1d. Create issue permission.
1a. App’s global permission: The Scheduler: Access
Project and Global Administrators are granted this by default. To change global permission, you must be a site admin or a Jira admin.
Here is an example from Jira Cloud configuration in Company Managed project:
Jira Settings → Global Permissions → The Scheduler: Access
1b. Browse project permission.
This permission allows people to view the project in the Projects directory and view individual issues in the project also while searching Jira. Without Browse projects permission users can’t access projects, thus cannot access The Scheduler.
User Permission | Atlassian addon permission | Result of lack/grant permissions on screen |
|---|---|---|
| |  |
| |  |
| |  |
| |  |
Table: Browse permission with messages of lack or grant User and Altassian addon permission.
1c. App’s project permission: The Scheduler: Use
Project and Global Administrators are granted this by default - to ensure app can be used and managed. Global permission “The Scheduler: Access” is required. Jira Administrators and Project Administrators have access to all Scheduled Issues in project.
Project Settings → Permissions → The Scheduler: Use
1d. Create issue permission.
This permission allows people to create issues in your project, including subtasks if you’ve enabled subtasks on your site. If in Project settings there will be lack of Create permission, the missing permissions banner should be visible above the Scheduled Issues table.
Here are combinations of missing permissions (User, Addon and Atlassian addon permission) and the result on your project:
User | Addon | Atlassian addon permission | Result of lack/grant permissions on screen |
|---|---|---|---|

The Scheduler for Jira Data Center (and Server)
[tbc]
What are the types of errors to be expected when some global/project permissions is missed in settings of Data Center and Server projects? Examples of this are below.
I. Custom permissions created by app:
Global: The Scheduler: Access
Project: The Scheduler: Use
1. App’s global permission: The Scheduler: Access
Jira Settings → Global Permissions → The Scheduler: Access
If in Jira settings there will be lack of The Scheduler: Access permission, the missing permissions banner should be visible above the Scheduled Issues table.
2. App’s project permission: The Scheduler: Use
Project Settings → Permissions → The Scheduler: Use
The same situation as in case of absence The Scheduler: Access permission: if in Jira settings there will be lack of The Scheduler: Use permission, the missing permissions banner should be visible above the Scheduled Issues table.
II. Project permissions required for users:
Browse Projects
Create Issues
Browse Projects
Project Settings → Permissions → Browse Projects
The same as in Cloud version - in Data Center/Server app version, without Browse projects permission users can not access projects, thus cannot access The Scheduler.
Create Issues
Project Settings → Permissions → Create Issue
If in Project settings there will be lack of Create Issue permission, the missing permissions banner should be visible above the Scheduled Issues table.
