You need to have Jira administrator permissions to grant any of these Project permissions.

Project permissions are project-level Jira permissions that affect access to Jira projects, their issues, and time records in Tempo. These are part of typical Jira project management tasks managed through the Jira permission schemes.

For more information about how to manage Jira project permissions, see Managing project permissions in the Atlassian Jira's documentation.

When you install a Tempo app, there are several basic Jira project permissions that you need to grant to all Tempo users. As well, Tempo adds some of its own permissions to the Time Tracking permissions (for Tempo Timesheets) that you need to grant to Tempo users.

To grant Project permissions:

Make sure you have Jira administrator permissions.
Go to Project > Permissions to view the permission scheme associated with the project.
Tip: You can also go to Tempo Settings > Permission Overview, click the Projects icon, then select the link to open the Permission Schemes page.
To modify the permission scheme, click on the Permissions link in the Actions column.
Find the permission you want on this page, such as those in the Time Tracking permissions section (see the table below), and click the Edit button beside it.
In the Grant Permission dialog, select Group, then select the Jira group to whom you wish to grant this permission, then click Grant.

You need to grant these permissions for each Jira project (via its permission scheme)that Tempo users are working on.
You need to have Jira administrator permissions to grant any of these Project permissions.
