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.
