Quick Guide for Administrators
In this guide, administrators will learn how to enable Golive on specific Jira Projects and manage security and permissions.
Requirements
You must be a Jira Administrator or Golive Administrator to perform the following actions.
Manage Security and Permissions
Golive uses a flexible role-based permission system to control read and write access.
Delegating Golive Setup to Non-Jira Administrators
To delegate Golive setup to non-Jira Administrators, follow these steps:
Access Apps > Golive from the Jira top menu.
Tip
If the Get Started page appears, click the Back button at the upper-right corner.
Click the gear icon with a downward arrow located in the upper-right corner, below your avatar.
From the drop-down menu, select Golive Settings.
On the Golive Settings page, go to the Settings section and choose Permissions.
At the bottom left of the Global Permissions list, click Add Role.
Enter a descriptive name, such as "Golive Administrator."
Add the Golive Administrator permission.
Select Jira users or user groups for this role.
Click Create.
Congratulations! The designated users can now set up Golive.
Default Permissions on Standard Groups
On a fresh installation, Golive permissions are granted to default Jira groups like jira-administrators, jira-users, jira-software-users, etc.
Info
If you use custom groups, add them to roles created during Golive installation. Refer to the Security and Permissions documentation for detailed instructions.
Role-Based Permission System
Golive’s role-based permission system is intricate. You must be cautious when changing default Golive roles. Understanding the difference between Global Permissions and Environment Permissions before making changes is important. For detailed information, refer to the Security and Permissions documentation.
Important
Avoid removing permissions from default Golive roles unless you fully understand the potential impacts.
