Hello @Aya Bouznari
Welcome to the Atlassian community.
What steps specifically were you executing before receiving that message? Were you trying to create the issue through the UI or through an API call?
hi,look at the permission scheme assigned to the project and see what roles can create issues
You can check your Jira access role in project and the Permission scheme.
If it's not in the permission scheme then check the workflows create transition.
I am having exactly the same problem as described above. I have created a Personal Access Token for the very account I am able to create issue types in JIRA through the browser.
This simple command should work:
curl -v -D- -H "Authorization: <pat removed for obvious reasons>" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --request POST \ --data '{"fields": {"project": { "key": "CIP"},"summary": "curl","description": "curl script","issuetype" : {"name": "Task"}}}' https://<company_name>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue
But it does not with the error:
{"errorMessages":["You do not have permission to create issues in this project."],"errors":{}}
Some AI LLM tool suggested this:
Verify PAT Permissions:Go to your Atlassian account settingsNavigate to Security > Personal access tokensCheck that your token has the necessary permissions (read:jira-work, write:jira-work)Consider creating a new token with explicit permissions for issue creation
Verify PAT Permissions:
Go to your Atlassian account settings
Navigate to Security > Personal access tokens
Check that your token has the necessary permissions (read:jira-work, write:jira-work)
Consider creating a new token with explicit permissions for issue creation
But I do not see those options on my JIRA installation. I can only create tokens with an expiry date. Nothing else.
This is the JIRA I am using:
Build Number: 100283Build Date: 2025-04-10T17:15:24.000+0200Deployment Type: Cloud
If you still think we are doing something wrong, can you suggest some different way of debugging this that is different than what I have tried already?
