What happens to the level of API permissions in Jira integration?

The level of API permissions in Jira integration is determined by the permissions of the user who installed the integration. This means that when a user connects Monday.com to their Jira instance, the integration uses the access rights and permissions assigned to that specific user account. Consequently, any action taken via the API will be subject to the limitations and permissions of the installing user, thereby ensuring that sensitive data or functionalities are only accessible as per that user's authority.

Using the permissions of the user who installed it allows for a secure and controlled integration, preventing any unintended actions that a different user might perform under more permissive settings. This model aligns with typical security practices by ensuring that API capabilities are closely tied to individual user permissions rather than defaulting to more extensive permissions that might pose a risk.
