To enable Xray at the project level, the user needs to have "Browse Projects" permission enabled at the Project Permission Scheme. If you do not have it, please ask help to your Jira Administrator before proceeding. |
You can do it for a brand-new project or for an existing one.
If you're not sure where to start, you can create a Demonstration Project with sample data to explore.
These operations can all be done from within Xray Settings available at the project settings page.
