How to add Jira Authentication to my web application

[lokesh cherukuri]

We use JIRA in our company. Now we are developing a separate web app. Instead of normal form based auth, we want to use "Login with JIRA" and get user roles and permissions on various projects and other content that he can see on JIRA. just like "Login with Google" or "Login with Facebook". Does JIRA allow this? Can someone provide some resources on how to do this?

You need to setup an SSO server in your network. Then you can use a plugin in Jira to link Jira to the SSO server. And then you have to connect your applicaton also to the SSO server. In this case you will have single sign on for Jira and your application.

Here is one of the plugins for Jira:

That is how users will get access. Later if you want to fetch permissions from Jira then you can use Jira REST API.
