## Simple Issue Language (SIL)

As the name suggests, SIL is built for clarity and ease of use. SIL is a low-code scripting language built specifically for Jira. It offers an intuitive syntax that's easy to learn and use even without prior programming experience.

SIL scripts are portable, which means you can transfer your automations across different Jira versions and hosting environments.

## Administration and access

Power Scripts automations require initial configuration by a Jira admin. Once configured, automations run in the background during normal Jira operations.

Admins can easily share scripts through a centralized repo with an organized folder system. They can also grant specific non-admin users access to run pre-configured automation scripts as needed.
