What are custom roles?
This article highlights a new alerting feature that's natively available in Jira Service Management which is gradually rolling out to some Jira Service Management Cloud customers. It may not yet be visible or available on your site.
Custom roles are a way to customize the capabilities of the users in a team that handles operations by granting or revoking the permissions of your choice. Custom user roles are only available for the Standard, Premium, and Enterprise plans of Jira Service Management.
