I am following this guide: Using Personal Access Tokens | Atlassian Support | Atlassian Documentation.

I am in the step below:

  • In Jira, select your profile picture at the top right of the screen, then choose Personal Access Tokens .

Yet, I cannot find any Personal Access Token menu . Is it the same as API Tokens?

Hi Eugene - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You should go here to create a personal API token:

Hi @Eugene Aquilino and welcome to the community!

The document you are referring to is for Data Centers, yet you created this question for Jira Cloud. So which one you are using?

Thank you! Sorry for the confusion. I meant that I was following a guide for an application that uses the document I have linked.  I am using Jira cloud and can only create an api token. Would that be the same with the personal access token in the document?

It appears that API tokens and PAT's (Personal Access Tokens) are _not_ the same.

I'm using an application that uses PAT's to fetch issue details for JIRA links. That feature stopped working when we moved to Atlassian Cloud.

I tried updating the app using an API token generated in JIRA cloud, but it didn't work.

How do we maintain integrated functionality in apps requiring a PAT if we're using JIRA cloud?
