import Figure from '@site/src/components/Figure/Figure.tsx'

## Prerequisites

### Jira Cloud

- [Jira **Cloud**](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira)

For Jira Data Center, check out the [Jira Server plugin](jira-server-plugin-installation.md)

### Unleash

- Unleash v4 or higher

## Required access levels

### Unleash

You will need an Unleash admin user to configure the access tokens needed to connect the plugin to Unleash.

For Unleash Open Source this plugin requires the use of an [Admin API token](../api-tokens-and-client-keys.mdx) to connect.

For Unleash Enterprise we recommend using a [service account](../service-accounts.md). Service accounts are also required to integrate with [Change Requests](../change-requests.md)

### Jira

You will need a Jira admin user.

## Installation

If you have an Unleash enterprise license you're welcome to reach out to us at sales@getunleash.io for a free plugin license, otherwise you'll need to try the plugin for 30 days free or purchase a license through the marketplace.

## Configuring the plugin {#configure-plugin}

After the plugin has been installed, each project's settings page in Jira will have a menu entry link called "Unleash Project Settings" under the "Apps" menu section.

Following that link takes you to the "Unleash Project Settings" configuration page. This is where you specify the connection details (Unleash server URL and access token) for the Unleash server to be used with this particular project.

Once you have configured the connection for the Unleash server, your users should be ready to [use the Jira Cloud plugin](jira-cloud-plugin-usage)
