Adding Permission Checks when Selecting a Coverer

As an administrator, you may want to restrict your users from selecting / finding a coverer. In certain instances, some users (e.g. external users) should not be allowed to list all the Jira users.

Hence, you can now enforce additional restrictions that a user must fulfill before they are allowed to select a coverer.

Log in as a  Jira administrator  to perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to Out of Office Setting via either method

Navigation Bar	Administrator > User Management > Out Of Office Setting > Coverer Permissions
Administration Search Dialog Box	Keyboard shortcut “G” + ”G” on the screen Input “Out Of Office Setting” Select “Out Of Office Setting” Navigate to the Coverer Permissions tab

2. Select the permissions required by the user in order for them to select a coverer.

   1. By default, none of the options will be checked, so all users will be allowed to select a coverer.

   2. Each user must fulfill all checked permissions in order to select a coverer.

3. Click on the Update button
