OAuth2 access from In House Application

[Andre Liebetrau]

We are using an inhouse non web based application that we want to interface to Jira to create new issues etc.
We have a predefined list of users that must have access to the Jira API.
We do not want to setup OAuth2 Credentials for each user individually.
What could we do to get one OAuth2 Client ID & Secret to be used by all users to gain access to the Jira API from our inhouse non web based application?

Hi @Andre Liebetrau,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The way we do it is to have a service account that we use to generate the API token for, and then use it instead of our individual accounts when we interact with the API.
