Register Webhooks via REST with non-admin-access token

[Hosein Nourani]

I am wondering is that possible to register(create) a webhook via REST API when the user-account (who send the request) doesn't have admin access?

In general, What if I ask permission for some scopes during login, user accepts it, but those permissions were not provided by his admin.

example: I asked for manage:jira-webhook, but user doesn't belong to site-admins access group.

Hi @Hosein Nourani ,

if you are logged in to Jira and you are using GUI, you can manage webhooks only if you are Jira administrator. I haven’t test this, but I expect the permissions will be the same for the REST API. So I don’t it is possible.

Thanks Hana.
So, is that true to say

for creating the webhook via my OAuth2 app, I need a user with admin access level to login?

Yes, I believe so, @Hosein Nourani

Thanks Hana. I’ll try it.

hi @Hana Kučerová Sorry I want to ask a question related to webhook and the permissions required for creating / updating.

I was wondering how can I make sure the oauth(3lo) access token I got with sufficient permissions to register / update / delete webhook?

Based on the how to mentioned in the doc, I can create webhook through GUI or RESTAPI only if the access token granted by the user with Jira Administrators Global Permission.

Then I test creating webhook on GUI, it worked. 

But when I make an API request to `mypermissions` to check my `GLOBAL` permissions, the response looks like I don't Administor permission.

Below is the response:

```

{
  "permissions": {
    "ADMINISTER": {
      "id": "0",
      "key": "ADMINISTER",
      "name": "Administer Jira",
      "type": "GLOBAL",
      "havePermission": false
    },
    "SYSTEM_ADMIN": {
      "id": "44",
      "key": "SYSTEM_ADMIN",
      "name": "Jira System Administrators",
      "type": "GLOBAL",
      "havePermission": false
    }

  }

}

```

So I was wondering which global permission is related to webhook creation/update/deletion ?

And how can I make sure I can create a webhook before I really make a API request.

Thanks!
