How to find a work item security level value when setting work item security via automation

When configuring work item security via automation rules for a given project, though the work item security level "Test" has been created, it's not possible to view the value "Test" in the dropdown.

Environment

Jira Cloud

Solution

Confirmed that the user needs to be part of theUsers/ Groups/ Project Rolespermissions for the said Security Level. Only users with permission can set the work item security level, please refer to Configure work item security schemes support documentation.

After adding yourself to the required permissions, you should see the security level in the drop-down successfully for the automation rule.
