Basic Authentication header

[Bhagavan Goud]

While trying to create a Jira project Using Post Method with REST API URL getting user doesn't have access.

How to get the Access_token.

Hi @Bhagavan Goud 

Firstly, you will need to create an API token from your Atlassian account:

1. Log in to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.

2. Click Create API token.

3. From the dialog that appears, enter a memorable and concise Label for your token and click Create.

Then follow Basic auth for REST APIs for examples on how you can use it in scripts. Hope this helps.

@Bhagavan Goud  Do you have JIRA Admin permission, as per the error message it seems that you don't have project creation access ? 

[Bhagavan Goud]

Hi @Vikrant Yadav  I have JIRA Admin Permission but the error message seems that you don't have project creation access? 

[Vikrant Yadav]

@Bhagavan Goud  Are you able to create project manually from front end ? 

[Kishan Sharma]

Hi @Bhagavan Goud are you able to create a project manually from the UI ? 

[Bhagavan Goud]

Hi @Kishan Sharma, and @Vikrant Yadav  Yes

[Kishan Sharma]

Hi @Bhagavan Goud From the error it looks like either the parameters are incorrect or that the json package is incorrect.  Please see the KB Get an internal server error message when trying to create a new issue through REST method

You can refer example here and make sure you are using the correct headers, payload, and endpoint with parameters.

Hi @Bhagavan Goud  Are you using JIRA cloud or local host JIRA server ? 

If you using JIRA Cloud you can check this link for creating project via Rest API :-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrYbx-3Px9A
