Using client credentials grant of OAuth 2.0 with Jira Software

Pranjal Shukla March 23, 2022

As per release notes of jira 8.22, it seems Jira supports oauth 2.0 for rest api’s too. I read the documentation on the below link and could ascertain that it only supports Authz Code grant type.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/jira-oauth-2-0-provider-api-1115659070.html

We have lots of machine to machine integrations which uses service accounts to access jira rest api (using client cert for authentication on a dedicated api node).

As understood from various documents, client credentials grant type suits best for machine to machine integration. Can somebody tell whether it’s supported in jira or not?

Hi Pranjal and Blake!

Good news! You can seamlessly employ the Client Credential Grant in Jira and Confluence. This feature allows easy REST API authentication for trusted server-to-server or machine-to-machine interactions, all without the need for user input.

Our add-on, mO REST API, makes this process a breeze. Give it a try!

For any more questions feel free to raise a ticket here.

    

Best Regards,
