I configured JIRA to receive email comments from GitHub by creating a GitHub user account whose email address is my JIRA instance's address, and creating a JIRA user account whose email address is notifications@github.com so that JIRA will recognize the GitHub sender address.
I believe this has the unintended side effect of granting access to people who might read email sent to notifications@github.com because they could request a password reset and gain access to the corresponding JIRA user account.
Instead, I'd like to make JIRA allow receiving email from notifications@github.com without granting any corresponding user access to JIRA other than to send email to it.
Is that possible? If so, how?
Alternatively, is there another way I can make GitHub notifications appear as comments on corresponding JIRA issues?
Hi Matt,
Currently it's not possible to send a notification of a private issue like you describe.
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
