# Installation and Access

Status Aging Alerts for Jira is a Jira Cloud Forge app. A Jira administrator must install it on the Jira site before project users can open it.

## Required Jira Access

Users need normal access to the Jira projects and issues they want to review. The app can only show issue data that Jira allows the current user and the app to access.

## App Permissions

The app uses Jira and Forge permissions for:

| Permission area        | Used for                                                                                                   |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Jira work read access  | Reading project issues, statuses, issue fields, and changelog history.                                     |
| Jira work write access | Adding Jira comments and sending optional Jira notifications.                                              |
| Forge storage          | Storing project settings, cached results, snoozes, ignores, notification history, and registered projects. |

The app does not require an external database or external backend.

## Where to Find the Project Page

Open a Jira project and select **Status Aging** from the project navigation.

Use the project page to:

* Review overdue and at-risk issues across the project.
* Filter by health, status, assignee, or search text.
* Open detailed flow reports.
* Add Jira comments.
* Snooze, ignore, or restore alerts.
* Configure thresholds and notifications.

## Where to Find the Issue Panel

Open a Jira issue and open **Status Age** from the issue view.

Depending on the Jira layout, Status Age can appear as:

* An app panel opened from the Apps area.
* A collapsible issue context panel on the right side.

Use the issue panel when you are already reviewing a single issue and need the status timeline quickly.
