The App Permissions section allows you to grant permissions for the app menu page and control who can use the import and export functions. You can also define an AIP Admins group with admin privileges only within the app. 

## Prerequisites

- You must be a [**Jira administrator**](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/managing-global-permissions-776636359.html) to carry out the instructions on this page.
- Before you begin setting up app permissions, we recommend defining the **AIP Admins** group.

> 📝 **AIP Admins: **This group has admin privileges only within the app, allowing members to access all features and functions within the app but not have admin privileges outside of the app. AIP Admins can manage assets and inventory within the app, including creating, updating, and deleting assets and asset types, as well as configuring plugin settings, setting up user permissions and roles, and more.
