Which Jira Permissions Are Required to Set Up a Connection?
To set up a successful integration with Jira for Defects and Requirements, the required Jira permissions depend on whether you are connecting to Jira Cloud or Jira Server. Jira permissions are managed in Jira. For more information about managing permissions in Jira, refer to Managing permissions on the Atlassian support website.
We recommend you use one Jira account for setting up integration with qTest. You can use a service account to prevent integration from being tied to an individual user.
Activating Jira Service Desk can affect allocated Jira permissions.
Jira Cloud required permissions
To connect to and manage Jira Cloud integration, you must have the following permissions.
| Function | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Connect to Jira Cloud | |
| Generate webhook in Jira for auto-synchronization | "Jira Administrators" global permission |
| Update and save integration settings for Defect and Requirement integration mapping | |
| Display Test Execution iframe in Jira | "Administer Projects" project permission |
Jira Server required permissions
To connect to Jira Server, you must have the following permissions.
The "Create Issues" issue permission and the "Browse projects" project permission are granted by default to users with the "Administer projects" project permission. However, these permissions can be changed, so verify that the account has both the "Create Issues" issue permission and the "Browse projects" project permission even if it is already granted the "Administer projects" project permission.
