Rules
Rules allow you to automate actions within your system based on criteria that you set. Automation rules are made up of three parts: triggers that kick off the rule, conditions that refine the rule, and actions that perform tasks in your site.
Triggers
Every rule starts with a trigger. They kick off the execution of your rules. Triggers will listen for events in Jira, such as when an issue is created or when a field value is changed.
Conditions
Conditions allow you to narrow the scope of your rule. They must be met for your rule to continue running. For example, you can set up your rule to only escalate an issue if it is high priority.
Actions
Actions are the doers of your rule. They allow you to automate tasks and make changes within your site. They allow you to perform many tasks, such as editing an issue, sending a notification, or creating sub-tasks.
Smart values
Smart values allow you to access and manipulate a wide range of issue data within your site. They can add significant power and complexity to your rules. For example, the smart value { {now.plusDays (5)}} references the current time and adds 5 days to it, while { {issue.summary}} will print off the summary of the issue.
Rule actor
The rule actor is the user who executes a rule. This user must have the relevant permissions to trigger the rule, and complete any actions that may be performed. For example, if a rule is created that will comment on an issue when executed, the rule actor must have the Add comment permission, otherwise the rule will result in an error.
Rule status
You can view the status of an automation rule to identify if the rule is currently active or not. If a rule is inactive, it will not execute until it is enabled. The status of a rule can be seen on its details screen.

About the Administrator Settings
As the name implies, these settings are only visible by users with Administrator privileges. All the settings on this page are accessible by entering the “Apps” section on Jira settings and then clicking on the "Team Files Settings" link on the sidebar.
Allowed storage places

Attachments preview
By default, the files and folders attached to Jira issues appear in the collapsed view to use less space on the screen. It's easy to preview the file by clicking the arrow to open the expanded view.
Allowed projects
By default, the Team Files app is available to be used on all projects. It’s accessible with a link on the project sidebar and a button on the issues to attach files and folders.
