This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: JIRA system administration

Go to Admin -> application management and check that Software is enabled, and you have set up at least one group to use it (i.e. the licenced users for it). Make sure you're in one of the user groups as well.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
