What permissions is needed for "Export data from Jira Cloud"

Question

Is there any information regarding permission that is need for

"Export data from Jira Cloud", i saw that "Import and export Jira automation rules" had it on the information page that  "global administrator" is needed, is the same permission applied to "Export data from Jira Cloud"? would have been nice if there was any other lower permission that could be assigned.

Hi @keivan / K1 ,

Any Jira administrator, so any user with Jira Administration product access (Jira product admin), can create a backup file and download it.

More on user admin access can be found here: https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/give-users-admin-permissions/

Additionally, with Atlassian Guard Premium, apart from other functionalities, you can get notified as soon as an admin creates or downloads a product backup file.

Cheers,
Tom

I am talking about ”Create a backup of your Jira Cloud site, including attachments. Backups help you restore and recover data, or migrate to Jira Data Center.”

Which is documented at https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/export-issues/ as ”Export data from Jira Cloud”

Hi @keivan / K1

Welcome

As mentioned by @Manoj Kumar Gangwar issue can be exported via the issue navigator.

See, How-to-export-Jira-issues-to-Excel-and-CSV

To be able to export and import Automation rules on the other hand, the minimal required permission is to be Jira Administrator.

This is this function is only doable from the Automation Global rules overview in System settings.
