There are now **two levels of configuration access. **

## Instance administration permissions

This configuration level defines who can use and configure Comment toolkit App. 

When App is first time installed members of Jira administrators and organization administrators groups can select who is allowed to manage labels, roles, and permissions.

This is where to access it: Jira Admin Settings> Apps > Comment Toolkit > Role configuration

- When a user is granted access to manage label roles and permissions, they are **automatically given full access to create, edit, and organize labels and label groups**.
- While assigning a user to manage roles and permissions, the Instance Admin can also **grant delete permissions** from the same page/modal.

## Labels management settings

Administrators with access to manage label roles and permissions can decide which groups or users can:

- create/rename labels
- delete labels
- assign/unassign labels to comments

=> This prevents uncontrolled label creation.

## Labels groups 

Labels need to be created **before** users can assign them to spaces of their choice.

**In short:**  
**Create label groups → create labels inside them → assign the group to Space(s)**

Workflow steps:

1. Create a **Label Group**

2. Add and personalize **labels** inside that group

3. Assign that **Label Group** to the space(s) where it should be available

Only after the group is assigned to a project will users in that project be able to select those labels.

Users cannot create labels inline inside the comment section
