Confluence - ChatGPT Integration: elevated permissions barrier for org-wide integration

[Georgia Maniati]

I've managed to integrate Confluence with ChatGPT Business via the Atlassian remote MCP server, and the results are very promising for productivity. However, I've hit a roadblock that might resonate with others:

• To connect Confluence to ChatGPT, the integration requires a user with elevated permissions (rights to add users and change roles in Confluence).
• These rights are unrelated to the integration's purpose (accessing and retrieving page content).
• The integration does not work for people with simple User access in Confluence.
• Scaling this to the whole company is not feasible due to obvious security and governance risks.

Questions to the community:

• Has anyone found a secure workaround that avoids granting unnecessary elevated privileges to users to enable them connect?

• Are there best practices for handling this for the whole company?

It seems like a blocker for many organizations looking to feed Confluence to their AI assistants.
