Managing JIRA's Plugins

PDF

Plugins allow you to customise and extend the functionality of JIRA in a variety of ways, including:

modifying the availability of 'issue operations' links ('Create Issue', etc)
creating new dashboard portlets
creating new reports
creating new types of custom fields
configuring renderers for rich-text fields
customising workflow

JIRA ships with a number of preinstalled plugins, and many more are available for download from the JIRA Extensions site. You can also create your own plugins (please visit the JIRA Development Hub for details).

Installed JIRA plugins can be enabled or disabled as follows:

Enabling a JIRA Plugin

Log in as a user with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission.
Bring up the administration page by clicking either the 'Administration' link on the top bar or the title of the Administration box on the dashboard:
On the panel on the left, under the title "System", click on the link labelled "Plugins".
This will bring up the Current Plugins page. The page lists all the installed plugins
Select the Plugin that contains the module you want to enable. (Eg. to enable the Text Portlet, select 'Portlets Plugin')
Click on 'Enable Module' next to the 'Text' portlet. The text portlet should now be enabled as shown:

Disabling a JIRA Plugin

Follow the above steps for enabling a plugin, but click 'Disable Module' instead.
