Upon successful installation, SmartHandler will automatically create a new Jira user group called "smart-handler-admin-group". By default it will populate this group with all users in the "jira-administrators" group. This allows admins to grant other Jira users the ability to see and use SmartHandler across an organization, if desired. To access the plugin, users in the smart-handler-admin-group will see a link in the top menu bar that says "SmartHandler". Click here to start using SmartHandler!
