How do I get a list of all Permission Schemes and the projects associated with it via API?

Fabio Ignacio

I'm trying to pull a list of all permission schemes and the projects associated with them as I'm looking to push an update to specific projects. Some permission schemes are shared, so I'm trying to pull a complete list to filter it out first.

I was able to use the REST API from https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-permission-schemes/#api-rest-api-3-permissionscheme-get however, some permissions schemes that I know have projects associated with them are returning without a scope.

I'm trying to debug and I know some of the indexes being returned have projects associated with them but are returning "Key Error"

print(data["permissionSchemes"][i]["scope"]


Does anyone know of other API calls to get all Permission Schemes from their projects or all projects from all permission schemes?

Hi @Fabio Ignacio 

There is no direct API that I found that can get you this information, what I would suggest as an alternative :

• Use this to get a list of all Company-Manged Projects: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-projects/#api-rest-api-3-project-search-get
• Use this APIs to run thru each Project name and get that output https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-project-permission-schemes/#api-rest-api-3-project-projectkeyorid-permissionscheme-get
• Once you have this list, you can chose any JSON based tool to either map the required info or map it locally

Hope this helps.
