More details

API Token Auth brings the Personal Access Token functionality to Jira. It allows API tokens as a very secure way of integrating your Jira with custom scripts & 3rd-party apps (i.e. Zapier, MS Flow, automate.io etc.). It also gives admins precise control over the API usage & solves the issue in SSO environments where users can’t use the API due to a lack of passwords.

  • Token Manager to filter/create tokens for all users
  • Permissions for who (users or groups) may create tokens & what scope (read or read & write).
