Problem:
When setting up the Jira Cloud integration, you may notice there is no option within SQAI to define or restrict the connection to a specific project.
Solution:
Atlassian Jira Cloud utilizes "Scoped Tokens" via their API, which control actions (read/write) rather than specific locations (projects). A token naturally has access to everything the user who generated it can see. To restrict SQAI to a single project, use the following workaround:
Create a Service Account: Set up a dedicated Jira user (e.g.,
svc-sqai).Restrict Permissions: In Jira, give this specific account access only to the desired project.
Generate Token: Create the API token while logged in as that restricted service account.
Connect to SQAI: Use these credentials in your SQAI settings to ensure the integration is limited to that specific project.
