If you plan to give them access to your product, do that the same way you would do that for any user. That is the right path.

Using an intermediary account is not the recommended path.

I have not developed an integration to the Jira API from another application so I can't provide the details for how to code the authentication process. I recommend that you review the Atlassian REST API documentation concerning authentication:
