Unable to create an issue using token with scopes

Romain LOUET

Hello,

Using Rest API, I am not able to create an issue (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-post).
That works with a full token, but I have a 401 using scopes.
I tried with granular and classic scopes : 

  • read:jira-user
  • read:jira-work
  • write:jira-work

-> 401

  • read:project:jira
  • read:project-role:jira
  • read:issue:jira
  • read:issue-type-hierarchy:jira
  • read:issue-type:jira
  • read:field:jira
  • read:project-version:jira
  • read:application-role:jira
  • read:group:jira
  • read:avatar:jira
  • read:user:jira
  • write:issue:jira
  • write:issue.property:jira
  • write:comment:jira
  • write:attachment:jira

-> 401

I add more than required in the doc because I have to edit Issues and query User

An idea for the missing scope(s) ?

Thanks

Hi,

Did you add the user to the project where the issue should be created ?
