We are creating Jira issues programmatically using the Jira REST API (API token) from Power Automate.
Could you please confirm whether the Enterprise EB2B Delivery project allows the Reporter field to be modified via API, and whether the integration user requires the “Modify Reporter” permission for this?
Hello @Kodidasu Lavanya
Generally speaking, yes, if your API call sets the Reporter to someone other than the integration user, then the integration user will need permission to change that field within the project.
Thanks for the clarification. @Arkadiusz Wroblewski
To proceed further, could you please help confirm the exact steps required on the Jira side to allow this?

No real way to know from here, to be honest. This is a community forum, so nobody here can see how your EB2B project is configured.
We can only talk about the theoretical side of changing the Reporter field via API. I am always a bit curious why this is not checked first with the company’s own Jira admins, because they are the ones who can actually see the project configuration and permissions.
The main things to verify are:
- The integration user can browse and create issues in the EB2B project.
- The integration user has the Modify Reporter permission.
- The Reporter field is available on the relevant create/edit screen or operation.
- The API payload uses the user’s accountId, not username or email.
Okay thank you for your valuble information @Arkadiusz Wroblewski
