Jira permissions required to connect with Unito
Unito integrations go through a Jira user to sync tools and perform all actions (e.g. create, change status, edit, comment). This Jira user requires the below permissions in Jira. Details on how to set up permissions in Jira can be found in the Jira Knowledge Base here, and information about managing permissions can be found here.
Note: Before setting up permissions, we recommended you create a Jira bot user.
Global permissions
Administer Jira
Browse users and groups
Why do we need these?
These permissions allow us to create webhooks, improving workflow performance. You can learn more about webhooks here. You can also learn more about authorizing Unito for Jira access here. Additionally, we need to be able to browse users and groups in order to interact with assignees, reporters, and commenters at the project level.
Don't worry, even if we need these permissions, it doesn't mean that Jira users and administrators will have access to all Jira projects across both instances. They'll still only be able to work in the projects you give them access to in Jira.
