Anyone who has the Administer Jira global permission can create and manage automation rules across all of Jira. Learn more about global permissions in Jira Cloud.

Admins with the Administer Jira global permission can:

• Create and manage automation rules with any scope. This means they can create single-project rules, multi-project rules, or rules that affect all projects.
