Permissions API Issue: {"errorMessages":["You do not have permission to create issues in this projec

[Gamers-Israel Community]

Hello team, i code this code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys
import json
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

# Read configuration parameters
alert_file = open(sys.argv[1])
user = sys.argv[2].split(':')[0]
print(user)
api_key = sys.argv[2].split(':')[1]
hook_url = sys.argv[3]

# Read the alert file
alert_json = json.loads(alert_file.read())
alert_file.close()

# Extract issue fields
alert_level = alert_json['rule']['level']
ruleid = alert_json['rule']['id']
description = alert_json['rule']['description']
agentid = alert_json['agent']['id']
agentname = alert_json['agent']['name']

# Set the project attributes ===> This section needs to be manually configured before running!
project_key = 'WT' # You can get this from the beggining of an issue key. For example, WS for issue key WS-5018
issuetypeid = '10002' # Check https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/finding-the-id-for-issue-types-646186508.html. There's also an API endpoint to get it.

# Generate request
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
issue_data = {
"update": {},
"fields": {
"summary": 'Wazuh Alert: ' + description,
"issuetype": {
"id": issuetypeid
},
"project": {
"key": project_key
},
"description": {
'version': 1,
'type': 'doc',
'content': [
{
"type": "paragraph",
"content": [
{
"text": '- Rule ID: ' + str(ruleid) + '\n- Alert level: ' + str(alert_level) + '\n- Agent: ' + str(agentid) + ' ' + agentname,
"type": "text"
}
]
}
],
},
}
}

# Send the request
response = requests.post(hook_url, data=json.dumps(issue_data), headers=headers, auth=(user, api_key))
print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": "))) # <--- Uncomment this line for debugging

sys.exit(0)

While i am trying to run this code i got this errors:
{
"errorMessages": [
"You do not have permission to create issues in this project."
],
"errors": {}
}

I am the project lead and jira owner, how can i fix this issue ?

I am having exactly the same problem as described above.  I have created a Personal Access Token for the very account I am able to create issue types in JIRA through the browser.

This simple command should work:

curl -v -D- -H "Authorization: <pat removed for obvious reasons>" \

     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

     --request POST \

     --data '{"fields": {"project": { "key": "CIP"},"summary": "curl","description": "curl script","issuetype" : {"name": "Task"}}}'  https://<company_name>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue

But it does not with the error:

{"errorMessages":["You do not have permission to create issues in this project."],"errors":{}}

Some AI LLM tool suggested this:

Verify PAT Permissions:

Go to your Atlassian account settings

Navigate to Security > Personal access tokens

Check that your token has the necessary permissions (read:jira-work, write:jira-work)

Consider creating a new token with explicit permissions for issue creation

But I do not see those options on my JIRA installation.  I can only create tokens with an expiry date.  Nothing else.

This is the JIRA I am using:

Build Number: 100283
Build Date: 2025-04-10T17:15:24.000+0200
Deployment Type: Cloud

If you still think we are doing something wrong, can you suggest some different way of debugging this that is different than what I have tried already?

Thank you!

Update:
While i am changing the Create Issues permissions like this guide:
Allow anonymous access to projects | Atlassian Support
To be public then the issues created by Anonymous reporter and i want to make the reporter user to be what i insert in the code and not to make it public,
also if public is enabled then everybody can create for me issues if they have the link.
