Hello , I want to ask if I can add another permission in jira using forge .Or we just can control access by roles or groups as a customization ?
Not really. Permissions cannot be added (created), only assigned.
The word ‘permissions’ is just an abstract term used to describe the combination of settings within Jira that control what users can access (see and do).
Yes. In that context, the word ‘access’ is a synonym for ‘permissions’.
Permissions are controlled via Groups and Roles at the Global, Project (via permission schemes) or Issue levels (via security schemes).
To learn more, Google “how do jira permissions work” to be lead straight to the corresponding and extensive documentation on the topic.

You can define a new project permission as part of a Forge app manifest. This new project permission then automatically shows up in the permission scheme and the admin can assign roles or users to it. Your Forge app then can use this information to control access to certain features. Same is possible for global permissions.
