How to add REST API permissions to specific (not admin) user

Question

Hi,

In order to automatically create issues in the Jira project, I've made a js script that works. I am a Jira administrator and use my own token.

However, when a colleague tried to run the same script with his own token, it failed.

Is there a way to use API without being an administrator?

Regards,

Aleksandar

Hi @Aleksandar Colic

every user can use the REST API with their own token.  However what a user can do is constraint by their permissions.  If the user has not enough permissions on a project, REST API calls will fail.

Thank you for your response. The mentioned user has "Administer Projects" permission for the project he needs API access. There is no other permission that can be added and is related to API usage. Any help, please?

All permissions are assigned to this user and it still fails.
