Hi @Pallavi Deore ,

The PAT can be used for any of Jira's REST APIs , and you can use Powershell's Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet to invoke REST APIs.

For a specific example of how to use the token in powershell, check the example on this page - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/

$Text = ‘user@example.com:api_token_string’
$Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Text)
$EncodedText = [Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)
$EncodedText

Hope that helps!
