What is a Permission Scheme?
...
Why Permission Schemes?
With permission schemes, you do not have to set up permissions individually for every custom field. Once a permission scheme has been set up, it can be applied to all custom fields that have the same type of access requirements.
Notice: While choosing "Set issue field value on Create issue screen" permission, take under consideration that it will only work for a Single User, Project Lead, Project Role, and Jira Permission.

- After selecting one or more permissions to add and who to add the selected permissions to, click the 'Add' button. The users/groups/roles will now be added to the selected permissions. Note that project roles are useful for defining specific team members for each project. Referencing project roles (rather than users or groups) in your permissions can help you minimize the number of permission schemes in your system.
