# Permissions

Using Email This Issue requires users to log in. Anonymous users cannot access it and cannot use its features.

Permissions to send manual emails (via the [The Email Button and the Email Screen](/email-this-issue/outgoing-emails/manual-emails/email-this-issue-for-jira-cloud-the-email-button-and-the-email-screen.md))

## Send Manual Email Permission <a href="#permissions-sendmanualemailpermission" id="permissions-sendmanualemailpermission"></a>

By default, the Email button is displayed for all logged in Jira users in all issues. However, sometimes it is necessary to restrict access to this feature to certain users.

To access this setting, go to the **Administration** configuration tab and choose **Permissions to Send Emails Manually** under the **PERMISSIONS** menu item.

If the the above option is enabled, all users may send emails. However, if the option is turned off, Jira Administrators may grant permissions in the Jira Permission Schemes.

### Send Issues in Email Permission <a href="#permissions-sendissuesinemailpermission" id="permissions-sendissuesinemailpermission"></a>

In this case, Permission schemes contain a permission type called **Send Issues in Email** that can be configured as a regular Jira Permission in the usual way. Users being granted this permission, are able to use the Email button and Email Screen. Unprivileged users may not access the Email screen.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.meta-inf.hu/email-this-issue/administration/email-this-issue-for-jira-cloud-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
