Granting users permission to use Ad Hoc Notifications
The ability to use Ad Hoc notifications is configurable through default global settings, or can be granted on a per-project basis. The ability to modify Global settings requires a Jira administrator, the ability to modify Project settings requires either a Project Admin or a JIRA administrator. Access to the JEMH Permissions section is found through the JIRA Project Administration section:
The JEMH Permissions screen has two sections, the Project Settings and the Global Settings. Editing ability is through the pen icon in each case, which is only possible with the Project Administrator privilege (for Project Settings) and JIRA Administrator (for Global Settings). By default, all projects defer to the Global Settings for security. To switch to Project Specific settings, just click the Use Project Settings button.
Once the Use Project Settings button has been selected, its activation is indicated:

When this setting is enabled, custom fields of all types are listed - note that no guarantees can be made that a type of custom field is compatible with the Ad Hoc Notification feature.

Customizing the From: address is possible here, allowing an override of the the JIRA default behaviour of including the 'Display Name' of the user who triggered a change. NOTE: Setting from: address will work only if your mail-server allows it, servers like Gmail will rewrite to the default address, Exchange handles it less elegantly. |

Setting | Description |
---|---|
Add Content As a comment to issue | If checked, adds a 'quoted' comment to the issue indicating who it was sent to. |
Comment Security Level | So as to avoid unnecessary notifications, visibility of the comment can be set to retain the information but hide for clarity / privacy. |
Send Comment Event | When the comment is added, an event can be fired (causing email notifications) or not. |
Immediate Delivery | Whilst possible, pushing the mail queue is synchronous with the user interaction, i.e. checking this will result in the send operation hanging until the mail queue has been flushed. Not recommended to be defaulted. |
