Hi @Kavish Malay Bharos 

Welcome to the community.

The "Bot does not have permission to create channel" error in Jira Service Management (JSM) when trying to create a Slack channel usually means that the Jira app doesn't have the necessary permissions in Slack to create new public or private channels.

To resolve this, adjust the channel management permissions in the Slack workspace.
