## Welcome to Power Admin for Jira

Are you dealing with complex Jira project configurations?  
  
Do they contain hundreds or thousands of custom fields, workflows, screens, and other types of Jira configuration elements?

If you are facing the challenges above or simply want to use a more intuitive and easier-to-use UI, **Power Admin** is the perfect solution for you. It helps you find and configure Jira projects more easily by providing powerful search and filter capabilities with full usage and change impact information.

## How it works

Power Admin for Jira is an advanced administration tool that allows you to:

- Search for configuration elements;
- Check usage and dependencies;
- Edit and configure elements.

> ⚠️ **Power Admin and CMJ dependency scan differences**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ You may notice that in some cases, Power Admin and CMJ report a different number of dependencies for a specific configuration element. This is completely normal, and it occurs because the two tools fulfill different use cases.
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ Learn more about this difference in the [Dependency scan differences between Power Admin and Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PA/pages/407177220) page.
