There are two distinctive interfaces for projects in JIRA. The first interface is designed for everyday users, providing useful information on how the project is going with reports and statistics, called project browser.

The second interface is designed for project administrators to control project configuration settings, such as permissions and workflows, and called Project Administration.

After creating a project, the first interface you see will be project browser. We will start our discussion around this interface and then move on to the Project Administration interface.
