Permissions to allow WebHook creation from API request

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a webhook in a JIRA instance but I'm getting the following msg:

{"key":"No tienes permiso para crear el WebHook ..."} (means, you don't have permissions to create a WebHook)

Does anyone knows where to grant this permissions?

Thanks!

Another question, is permission required to create a webhook (global admin) is the same for edit? Can't find it in the docs.

@Pramodh M Thank you for the quick response.

We are generating the authentication via OAuth using the Products > Integrations > Application Links option in the Jira Software (/plugins/servlet/applinks/listApplicationLinks),

Would this auth need some kind of special permission configured somewhere else or how do we know which user is being used for the call?

We have some instances where creating the WebHooks via REST works without problem, but it’s just a couple of specific Jira instances that are refusing to let us create them like that.

Thanks!

You should be a Jira Administrator in order to be able to create the webhooks

If not check with your Jira Admin

And I guess you need authentication via OAuth or App to work with webhooks
