As an administrator, how does one authorize the Atlassian CLI (acli)?

I'm trying to use the Atlassian CLI via oAuth. I got an error stating:

Your site admin must authorize this app for the site "<site_url>" before the app can access your account.

I've worked with our administrator, via screen share, to try to authorize the CLI, but we haven't been able to find it in the location specified by the docs at https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-cloud/kb/your-site-admin-must-authorize-this-app-error-in-atlassian-cloud-apps/

What do we need to do to get this app to show up? Has it been renamed, perhaps?

Hi @brian 

 

Not sure but on my side, I just try to authenticate as an admin, approve it and it's then available for others. It's the process for 3LO not sure about acli. It will then be listed in Connected Apps for the site.

Going to try that shortly.

Edit: it worked on my dev instance. Will accept as soon as it works in prod.

Hi @brian ,

Welcome to the community. 

There might be a better way to find the Connected apps, but here is how I was able to find it on my instance: 

1. Click/Expand on "Apps" from the admin.atlassian.com portal. 

2. Click/Expand "Sites", select the site. 

Connected apps should be on the left hand side menu.

I was able to find connected apps, but the Atlassian CLI is not in the list.
