Step by step guide
Summary
By default Elevator is open to all Jira users to view roster data, manage their own notifications and interact with issues.
Rosters can be created by any user belonging to a group that has the Global Permission 'Create Shared Objects' (Please see Checking Global Permissions), or users which are members of the Jira Administrators or Jira System Administrators groups.
Elevator can also be restricted to only certain users through Jira groups. When restrictions are enabled all users are able to interact with issues but only restricted users may access roster and notification settings.
