## Introduction
Permission Schemes allows administrators to determine if the app capabilities will be available for a project's Issues. One Jira project must have at least one permission scheme, or not be associated with a permission scheme (in which case, the app functionality will not be available for that project).
You can access Permission Schemes, in the [Xporter menu](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTERCLOUD/558670), by selecting the *Permission Schemes* option (Figure 1 - 1).
The Permission Schemes screen (Figure 1) displays a list of existing schemes (Figure 1 - 2) and, for each one, the projects associated with it.
## Operations
