Read permission schemes without administer role

Question

In my application I need to read the permission schemes for all Jira projects. Is there any way to access the GET Api without being an administrator? There is no intention to update or delete the schemes.

Hello igli@amberoad.ai ,

Hi @Hector Menchaca ,

thanks for you response. I am specifically interested in the REST GET endpoint /rest/api/3/project/{projectKeyOrId}/issuesecuritylevelscheme

It is stated in the documentation that Administer Jira or Administer Projects is required for calling this endpoint. Thus, only an admin is allowed to call this endpoint. Is there any workaround for calling this endpoint with a normal user?

Hello igli@amberoad.ai ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You will find all the documentation about the API permissions here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/#authentication

Here is the information:

Most operations in this API require permissions. The calling user must have the required permissions for an operation to use it. Note that for Connect apps, the app user must have the required permissions for the operation and the app must have scopes that permit the operation.

A permission can be granted to a group, project role, or issue role that the user is a member of, or granted directly to a user. See Permissions overview for details. The most common permissions are:

* Administer the Cloud site: Users in the site-admins group have this permission. See Manage groups for details.
* Administer Jira: Granted by the Jira Administrators global permission. There is a default group for this permission. See Manage groups and Managing global permissions for details.
* Administer a project in Jira: Granted by the Administer projects project permission for a project. This can be granted to a user, a group, a project role, and more. See Managing project permissions for details.
* Access a project in Jira: Granted by the Browse projects project permission for a project. This can be granted to a user, a group, a project role, and more. See Managing project permissions for details.
* Access Jira: Granted by the Jira Users global permission. Users in the default product access group (for example, jira-software-users-acmesite) have this permission. See Manage groups and Managing global permissions for details.

Regards,

Thanks!
