Hello @yashodperera ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

App passwords were designed to be easily created and revoked, and I'm afraid currently it's not possible to review the permissions/scopes of an existing app password, neither in the UI nor via API. We already have a feature request to implement this functionality, which you can access with the link below : 

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-22540

I would suggest you to add your vote there, since this helps both developers and product managers to understand the interest. Also, make sure you add yourself as a watcher in case you want to receive first-hand updates from that ticket. Please note that all features are implemented with this policy in mind.

Thank you, @yashodperera !
