Preparation
Before you can target JIRA Cloud, you must:
Set up a JIRA site admin as target system administrator
Create an API key for the site admin
Create at least one template account
Setting up a Jira Site admin as target system administrator
Bravura Security Fabric uses a site admin on JIRA Cloud to perform Bravura Security Fabric operations. The account must have Site-Admins permission.
To create a JIRA site admin:
Log into the JIRA admin site, http://admin.atlassian.com as a JIRA Cloud administrator.
If you are an admin for multiple sites or an organization admin, click the site’s name to open the admin for that site.
Click Invite users on the Users list page.
Enter an email address you want a user to log in with in the Email Address field.
Select the Site Administrator role from the Role drop-down list.
Add the user to group(s) if needed.
Click Invite users or select an existing user on the Users list page.
Double click on the user or click on ... next to a user to open user’s details page.
Click Add to group.
Select the Site-admins group.
Click Add to groups.
Creating an API key for the site admin
An API key is required to be generated by the site admin user (the target system administrator), which will be required to enter as the password when you add JIRA Cloud target system to Bravura Security Fabric .
Log into https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-token as the site admin created previously.
Click Create API token.
From the dialog that appears, enter a memorable and concise Label for your token and click Create.
Click Copy to clipboard and save the API token. This will be needed when setting up a JIRA Cloud target system.
Creating a template account
Bravura Security Fabric uses a template account for creating new accounts in JIRA Cloud. Creating a template account is the same process as creating a target system administrator but with regular user permissions assigned.
