## Permissions overview

By default in Jira only project administrator can manage components and versions.

This becomes a limitation for Subcomponents app extensions because only project administrator would be able to manage project Subcomponents, Component versions, Packages.

That's why we added new custom project permissions for every extension to enable project administrator to delegate its configuration to non-admin users:

- Manage Subcomponents permission
- Manage Component versions permission
- Manage Packages permission

You can grant new permissions to users, groups, roles etc the same way as standard project permissions by editing project Permission schema.
