Jira authentication

You can authenticate with Jira in multiple ways, and you require the following credentials:

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code

Required credentials:

  • Site URL - The URL of your Jira instance. The site URL should have a format similar to the following: https://company.atlassian.net.
  • Scope - Scopes enable an app to request a level of access to an Atlassian product. Once the connection is established and the user grants authorization via the API through the Jira activity, the OAuth app gains permission to perform the specified operations on behalf of the user, subject to the user's permission settings. For the list of scopes that can be provided please visit this page

    During the creation of a connection, you have the option to either retain the displayed scopes as they are or specify a comma-separated list of scopes of your preference. This allows you to prevent the OAuth app from automatically requesting all scope permissions by default.

    For more information, visit Scopes for Apps.

After providing the information specified above, you will have to log in to your Atlassian account using your Email and Password.

Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app

This authentication type is similar to the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code, the difference being that you need to provide your own Client ID and Client Secret credentials.

Note:

While setting up your own Oauth2.0 App please make sure to provide the redirect/callback url as

https://cloud.uipath.com/provisioning_/callback.
Please follow the Jira guidelines for creating your own app: OAuth 2.0 (3LO) apps and you can create your own app from the Jira developer console
