How to create unniversal user token in Jira for login to Power BI application.

Hi @Alby Siby 

No you can't.

I suggest to have a specific user created for these actions.

Have only admins no the user credentials, have an admin create the token that can be used.

Make a procedure that if someone leaves the company (who has been given the token), that you create a new token.

Hello @Alby Siby 

What is a universal user?

[Alby Siby]

A common login token that can share with other jira users to login into powerBI to connect the Jira application.

Note: we can create user token in jira, but it is user specific.Instead of that need a unniversal token.

Ahh, no. Just as @Marc - Devoteam has said, tokens belong to a user account. if you want a universal token, you have to create a special account and give it universal permissions.

Refer to threads like this one where the same question has been asked before.

PS. Creating and using a 'universal account' is a dangerous proposition. Think carefully about the consequences if the credentials for that account escape your control.
