Configuring Jira Software Cloud
This documentation is for configuring Jira projects that are linked to ZenGRC, as well as for setting up the Jira user who is added to the Jira Settings page within ZenGRC.
Tip |
---|
|
It is the permissions within Jira Software that impact the access between Jira and ZenGRC. If there are issues between the two applications, please check Jira settings. |
Creating or Verifying a Jira User
This user must have an API token and use that instead of a password. For more information about tokens, please read the Atlassian Cloud documentation on API tokens.
- From the Atlassian admin console, create a new user or verify the existence of the user that will be used to establish the ZenGRC connection. Be sure to use the API token instead of a password.
- Alternately, if you're using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), then create the user in that directory and sync it with Jira.
Configuring Permissions
In each of the Jira projects that will be used for ZenGRC, complete the following in the Permissions area:
- Create Issues - Enable this section so the user can create issues within Jira. If not, ZenGRC won't be able to send requests or tasks into the Jira project.
- Browse Projects - This should be enabled only for the projects that will be used for ZenGRC.
- Create Attachments - This should be enabled in order to attach evidence.
Testing the User
- Log into your Jira project as the user just created in the Creating or Verifying a Jira User.
- Review content to double-check what the user can see and do. This is then what ZenGRC will be able to access/see in Jira.
