'Manage Sprints permission for projects' error, while creating new sprint using JIRA Rest API.

[Puja Kumari]

Python Code:

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import json

url = "https://<site-url>/jira/rest/agile/1.0/sprint"

auth = HTTPBasicAuth("userid", "Password")

headers = {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

payload = json.dumps( {
"name": "sprint test",
"startDate": "2019-07-01T15:22:00.000+10:00",
"endDate": "2019-07-12T01:22:00.000+10:00",
"originBoardId": 5,
"goal": "sprint test goal"
} )

response = requests.request(
"POST",
url,
data=payload,
headers=headers,
auth=auth
)

print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")))

Output:

{
"errorMessages": [
"To start a sprint, you must have the Manage Sprints permission for all of the following projects: <Project Name>"
],
"errors": {}
}

How to resolve this error?

Hello,

You need to grant the Manage Sprints permission to the user, under whom you perform the rest call, in all projects, which issues are selected by the board.

Hi Alexey,

Thank you so much  for your reply.

Could you please explain, how to grant the Manage Sprints permission to the user for projects in jira.

Choose the required project -> Project Settings -> Permissions
