Using a JIRA Rest API add setting Allowlist in JIRA Admin Panel?

Marcell Calero September 9, 2025

In Jira, to manage the allowlist (also known as the whitelist) for allowed URLs, you generally follow a similar process to what you see in Confluence. However, the exact path may vary slightly based on the version of Jira you are using. Here are the typical steps to add URLs to the allowlist in Jira:

1. Log in to your Jira instance as an administrator.
2. Go to the **Administration** panel. This is usually accessible via the gear icon in the top right corner.
3. Navigate to **System**.
4. Under **Security**, look for **Whitelisting** or **Allowlist** (the exact name can vary).
5. Here you can add, edit, or manage the URLs you want to allow.

Since the navigation structure can vary slightly depending on the version of Jira you are using, here is a more generic step-by-step guide:

1. **Log in as Admin**: Ensure you are logged in with administrative privileges.
2. **Access Admin Settings**: Click on the gear icon (⚙️) usually located in the top right corner.
3. **System Settings**: In the left-hand sidebar, look for the **System** section.
4. **Security Settings**: Under the System section, find **Security** and then look for **Whitelist** or **Allowlist** settings.
5. **Manage Allowlist**: Here you can add the URLs or patterns you want to allow.

please provide a Step?


This question was already asked here but I want to know if the API exists now or when it's planned to be implemented, or what other alternative I have to automate this to resolve it.

Hi @Marcell Calero 

There is no API option on the Atlassian admin side to add whitelist/allow list options.

There is also no feature request for this on https://jira.atlassian.com/ 

On the roadmap there is no mention as well.

So don't expect it to be implemented (in time or ever)
