Cannot create issues via Email, claims it is a licence issue

[Sys Admin]

Whenever a customer tries to create an issue via email, I get the following message in my logs.

Cannot create issue due to invalid license: [Sorry, you can't create any issues right now, as you need to have access to a JIRA application to be able to create issues. To gain application access you need to be a member of a group assigned to an application.]

The users have project permissions and create issues via the portal just not via email.

JIRA also claims that comments have been added to existing issues when a customer responds via email but they don't show on the tickets page.

Hi @Sys Admin,

This sounds like something isn't working right with the email handler, and I'd suggest contacting our Support team.

For a little more self service, I'd say it sounds like one of two things, either you're trying to use a JIRA mail handler with a Service Desk project, or you don't have JIRA Service Desk, in which case each new person trying to create an issue will need a license for your instance, and that's why they can't create the issue.

Failing that, check with our great support team and they'll sort you out!

Thanks,

Warren

This seems to be a known issue. For details please see:

• Incoming E-mail cannot create issue in JIRA 7
• Why do users need application access to create issues in JIRA 7?

Cheers,

I am disgusted by any company that forces their CUSTOMERS to search for basic onboarding answers for hours on end. How I wish my client chose a different system.

Hi Kennen, maybe the Community can help you with your issues. Can you elaborate on what problems you are facing?
