Thank you, Jeff. It was really helpful!

Also, do I need to request an access in order to be able to assign an issue to 
myself? I cannot find an option to do that when I'm logged in.

Subject: Re: question on assigning JIRA ticket

If it's created by someone else but not assigned, you can assign it to yourself 
and begin work

If it's created by someone else and assigned to someone else, you should post 
on the ticket and ask if they mind if you work on it instead.
Sometimes people assign and then never work on it, and they won't mind if you 
take it. Sometimes they'll have started but hit a road block, and may be able 
to give you some code to start with. Just ask before you change the assignee.
