## Configuring the plugin {#configure-plugin}
2021-11-12 14:00:41 +01:00
After the plugin is installed. Jira's Manage Apps page will have a new menu section called "Unleash Admin" with a single
link - "Configure servers".
![Jira Manage Apps - Unleash Admin ](/img/jira_server_manage_unleash_admin.png )
Following the "Configure servers" link will take you to a config page where you can setup your connection(s) to Unleash
servers. The Unleash Jira server plugin supports having a global server configured for all Jira projects, or a specific
server configured for a specific Jira project.
![Jira Manage Apps - Unleash Server Admin ](/img/jira_server_manage_servers.png )
2021-11-12 15:53:06 +01:00
Once you have configured at least one Unleash server, your users should be ready to [use the Jira Server plugin ](/integrations/jira_server_plugin_usage )
2021-11-12 14:00:41 +01:00
### Edit existing servers
2021-11-12 15:53:29 +01:00
In the list of known servers, each server has a connected edit button. Clicking the edit button brings up the edit
2021-11-12 14:00:41 +01:00
dialog for the server, allowing you to change the details for the selected server
![Jira Manage Apps - Edit server ](/img/jira_server_edit_server.png )
### Delete (disconnect) existing servers
Deleting a server from the admin interface does not actually delete the server, but it deletes Jira's knowledge of the
2021-11-12 15:56:25 +01:00
server.
2021-11-12 14:00:41 +01:00
Since this is a destructive operation, our plugin will ask for confirmation that you're sure you want to do this.
![Jira Manage apps - Delete server confirmation ](/img/jira_server_delete_server_confirmation.png )
You will not be allowed to delete a server that has toggles connected to issues, instead you'll receive a
warning dialog telling you that you'll need to disconnect the toggles from their issues first.
