How to add REST API permissions to specific (not admin) user

[Aleksandar Colic]

Hi,

In order to automatically create issues in the Jira project, I've made a js script that works. I am a Jira administrator and use my own token.

However, when a colleague tried to run the same script with his own token, it failed.

Is there a way to use API without being an administrator?

Regards,

Aleksandar

Hi @marc -Collabello--Phase Locked- 

There was a typo in our script. Thanks and sorry for this.

It is working now! :)

Hi @marc -Collabello--Phase Locked- 

All permissions are assigned to this user and it still fails.

Hi @marc -Collabello--Phase Locked- 

Thank you for your response. The mentioned user has "Administer Projects" permission for the project he needs API access. There is no other permission that can be added and is related to API usage. Any help, please?

There is no specific API usage permission.

Maybe the problem is related to browser usage of the js script and CORS restrictions?

I've tried to run the script with the user's credentials on my machine and it fails. Therefore, it's not related to browser usage of the js script and CORS restrictions.

What is the error you get?

Hi @Aleksandar Colic 

every user can use the REST API with their own token.  However what a user can do is constraint by their permissions.  If the user has not enough permissions on a project, REST API calls will fail.
