Hey all I have been working on a Javafx app that allows me to create an issue in the backlog. Everything is going well but I had a question about the oauth. 

Can I still use my PAT for the other users on my team (aka use their username in place of my own currently using my own PAT) or do I need each user to create their own PAT (using their username and replacing my PAT) in order for my app to work for others?

Is this the correct way to do this or is there already something built in that I’m not seeing in the docs that takes care of this?

Hi @tdg1999 

 

My security friends would say, have your app prompt the user for their PAT and to never share your PAT.
