Project Permissions
AIO Tests allows users to specify operation-level permissions with the click of a button. Whether you want to assign specific users/groups to perform different actions like creating cases, editing sets, etc., on AIO Tests or want to restrict their access, the test management tool lets you do it effortlessly.
The permissions can be applied to active Jira users as well as Jira Groups.
The permissions set for one project do not have any impact on AIO Tests operations for other projects.
The Group-based access (Apps → Manage Apps → AIO Tests → Access) is the first governing access for groups. Permissions set at the project level for Jira Groups do not override the access specified for those groups at the global level.
In this documentation, you’ll understand:
Steps to Setup Permissions for Users/Groups
Step 1: To setup permissions for users/groups, simply click on the Gear icon and select the Project Settings option from the drop-down menu.
Step 2: Click on the Permissions option in the sidebar menu.
Only Jira & Project Admin & designated AIO Admins have access to setup permissions for a project.
Step 3: On the Project Permissions page, you can specify permissions for active Jira users as well as groups created in Jira. Click on the desired entity for which you want to edit the permissions - Cases, Sets, Cycles, Cycle Cases, Predefined Parameters, and Others.

Predefined Parameters | Create/Edit | Ability to create and edit predefined parameters from AIO Tests |

Step 4: Click on the Pencil icon for the desired entity/operation for which you want to change the access.
Users have three options to set up permissions- All (default), Include and Exclude.
All: All users having access to the project can perform the specified action.
Include: Only Users/Groups specified with Include access can perform the action. Everyone else is automatically excluded which means they cannot perform the specified action.
Exclude: Users/Groups specified with Exclude access cannot perform the action. Everyone else can perform the specified action.
By default, all users having access to the Jira project can perform all operations in AIO Tests.
Group permissions are applied to all users belonging to that particular group.
If users select the Include or Exclude option in Access then they have to specify either Users/ Groups or both.
Step 5: Finally, click on the Save button.
