Jira Cloud API error: Only Jira administrators can access workflow scheme associations

Naresh Sampath
January 9, 2026

Hi Team,

I am using a service account API token in a Jira Cloud Automation rule to call this API:
GET https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudId}/rest/api/3/workflowscheme/project?projectId=10018

But I get this response:
{
"errorMessages": [
"Only Jira administrators can access workflow scheme associations."
]
}

My questions:

  1. Is there any other API or workaround to find the workflow scheme associated with a project without Jira Admin access?

  2. Can this be done using Jira Automation + REST API?

Please guide me on how to solve this.

Thanks!

Hi @Naresh Sampath 

Have you tried using the editmeta or transitions?

GET /rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}?expand=transitions

Hi @Naresh Sampath 

 

1. I'm afraid but this is not possible without admin permissions.

2. Yes, Automation and Rest api are a good way to get data from Jira but you need to have correct permissions.
