Project permissions allow you to control who can access your project, and what they can do, e.g. "Work on Issues". Access to individual issues is granted to people by issue permissions.
The permission scheme defines how the permissions are configured for this project. To change the permissions, you can select a different permission scheme, or modify the currently selected scheme.
