Starting December 5, 2025 (QMetry Test Management for Jira v4.15.1), the QMetry Test Management for Jira documentation moved from its location on Atlassian to a dedicated, standalone QMetry Test Management for Jira documentation page. For the latest updates, refer to Manage QTM4J Project Settings.

Introduction

Jira Administrators can manage access to modify QTM4J project settings by granting permissions to designated Jira groups. By default, users with Jira's Project Administrator and Browse Project permissions retain access. It minimizes the risk of accidental modifications by other project administrators. The QTM4J Project Settings configurations are available in Manage QTM4J Project Settings of General Configuration, Global Settings.

Required Permissions: The Jira Site Administrator can configure the Jira Groups whose users can access and configure QTM4J Project Settings of General Configuration, Global Settings.

Sync User Groups

When new users are added to or existing users are removed from the Jira Group, QMetry does not receive any updates on it. Hence, reindexing of User Groups or syncing of user permissions is required. You can follow the methods mentioned below to sync the User Groups and user permissions.

(A) Re-index User Groups

Re-index User Groups from General Configuration

Go to Settings, select Apps, select Global Settings in QTM4J, and then select General Configuration.

The Re-index button is provided under the Manage QTM4J Project Settings on the General Configuration page.

You can initiate a reindex of user groups to sync any changes made to these settings or groups within Jira with QMetry.

(B) Sync Permissions from Project Settings

Whenever any modifications are made to User Permissions, it's necessary to synchronize the latest permissions. You can synchronize the latest permissions assigned to users in Jira with QTM4J from Project Settings.

Steps

1. Go to Projects, select Project Settings, and then select QMetry Project Settings.

2. Select the Project Permissions tab.

3. Click Sync Permission.

Make sure you turn on the Permission is Enabled option.
