2.8 Grant project permissions to departments

What is granting project permissions to departments ?

JIRA system can grant project permissions to users, groups, project roles, the assignee, the reporter, and users corresponding to a certain user-picker field or group-picker field. Pemissions include Browse Projects, Edit Issues, Add Comments, etc.

OrgWise extends the department type for schemes. Administrators who can edit the project permission scheme can grant project permissions to a designated department.

For project administrators who cannot edit permission schemes, OrgWise provides another way of adding the department to project roles.

In this way, there is no need to modify the permission scheme when the department personnel change.
