Admin settings
Laya Board for Jira's settings for Jira admins: the laya.net connection, write-back and its project list, sync health, who can share and connect, disconnecting and uninstalling.
Last updated
Open Jira settings, then Apps, then Laya Board, or a project's settings sidebar: both show the same screen. The full reference is the Laya Board for Jira admin guide; this article is the summary.
What the settings screen shows
Until the site is linked, the screen offers the connect wizard. Once linked, it has a Jira sync tab, and one tab per connected tool.
| Section | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Laya.net connection | The linked workspace and Jira site, with Open Laya workspace ↗ and Disconnect from Laya.net. |
| Write-back to Jira | Whether edits made on laya.net flow back into Jira, and for which projects. All projects are allowed by default, including new ones. Edit projects narrows the list; an empty list keeps write-back off. The chip shows Bridge registered or Inactive. |
| Sync health | Live status, counts and repair actions, with red banners when something needs you. |
| Permissions | Who on the site may use the higher-impact actions (below). |
Permissions
Each action can be set to All members or Admins only: "By default anyone in your Jira site can do these. Restrict any to admins only."
| Action | What it covers | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Share a board externally | Turn on the public guest link for a board. | All members |
| Connect a source | Link laya.net, or connect or mirror another tool, including master boards. | All members |
| Disconnect & delete synced data | Disconnect the site from laya.net, or delete mirrored data. The highest impact. | Admins only |
One workspace per site
Each installation links to exactly one laya.net workspace. If people report a duplicate board, or say sync is broken, first check Laya.net connection to see which workspace this site is linked to: they may be looking at a different workspace.
Disconnect and uninstall
- Disconnect from Laya.net can also delete the mirrored boards and issues on laya.net, with the checkbox in its dialog. Native Laya boards and your Jira data are not touched.
- Uninstalling the app tells laya.net, takes share links offline, revokes the link and deletes the app's stored data on your site, including Board Studio settings.
- Uninstalling does not delete data already mirrored to laya.net. To remove it, delete synced data or disconnect with the delete box ticked, before you uninstall.
Email support@laya.net and include what you expected, what happened, and a link to the affected board or item so we can help quickly.
