Do not send a request via the service account API

[Varvara K_]

I created a service account and created credentials for it in the form of an API token. I'm testing it using Postman (https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudid}/rest/api/3/project/PROF). In the authorization settings, I specify the service account email and token. But I get an error. Although I checked using the Rights Assistant, the service account has rights for this project.

Hmm, following this 👀

What I only managed to find are these:

• 401 Unauthorized error when service account accesses Jira or Confluence API 
• JRACLOUD-96121: Allow Service Accounts to Create Non-Scoped API Tokens in Jira Cloud 

But they do not say much about that issue you're experiencing.

As you're using Postman, have you tried passing the token as a Bearer token in the authorization header?
I usually mix between the two (Basic and Bearer) when using Postman 😅

Cheers,

Agree. According to documentation, Bearer token must be used. Basic type isn't used here.

Yep!
