Set up team members

When setting up JIRA Software for the first time, your JIRA Administrator must have also set up users and assigned them the permissions they need. And now that your software project is ready, it's time to add members to your project and manage their permissions.

When managing the permissions of your members, you can consider several things, such as:

• their roles in the project
• the tasks they perform in the project
• the level of permissions they need to perform those tasks

There is no fixed method to setting up permissions; what's important is that your members have the permissions they need to perform their tasks efficiently in JIRA Software.

But when you do figure out the perfect mix of permissions, you can add them to your team by following these steps:

1. Choose  > User management.
2. Select Users.

3. In the Create new users page, enter the details for each user as necessary.

4. Click Create users.
