The ops API does not accept service accounts, is this a bug or deliberate setting? If so, why?

Hi @Steven Hubau 

Which API are you trying to use?

The one you shared is not complete:

URL format

The Jira Service Management operations REST API uses a consistent URL pattern to access different resources. The general format is as follows:

Let us know which API in the docs are you trying to use.

Does the service account have these permissions?

Permissions required: Permission to create a schedule:

  • the user has edit configuration rights.
  • the user is the admin of the team that the schedule belongs to.
OAuth 2.0 scopes required:
read:ops-config:jira-service-management
write:ops-config:jira-service-management

If you have the permissions, then try the Oauth credential:

https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/create-oauth-2-0-credential-for-service-accounts/

If this still doesn't work, that OPS endpoint doesn't support services accounts yet.

I can't find anything related to that, though, but probably that's the problem.

I am unable to add service accounts as member or admin of the team, maybe that is the problem?

Hi @Steven Hubau 

Correct; based on this defect, it is not possible to add a service account as a team member: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ATLAS-269

Kind regards,
Bill
