# `jaas` plugin The `jaas` plugin is a CLI tool that acts as a plugin for the `juju` CLI and provides extra functionality in a JAAS system. ## Installation The `jaas` plugin is distributed as a [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/jaas). ```text sudo snap install jaas --channel=3/stable ``` ## How it works When you install both the Juju and JAAS snaps, they automatically connect via snap’s [content-interface](https://snapcraft.io/docs/content-interface/) enabling new commands on the `juju` CLI. To view a list of all the newly available commands run `juju jaas -h`. Plugin commands can either be executed with the `jaas` subcommand or directly, as follows: ```text $ juju jaas ``` or ```text $ juju ``` The second form is preferred and used throughout our documentation. These commands are intended to extend Juju’s capabilities but note that some commands require elevated permissions.
