- There are also settings you can use to limit access via configuration.
Permissions Requirements for Helpdesk +
- Jira Permissions: The main authorized user needs the following permissions to create a connection to the APIs. Individual users do not need these permissions:

- JSM Agent Role: For each selected service desk, main authorized users must have the JSM Agent role. If using Jira software projects, agent roles are not required.
