I have created an API Token (at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens) and successfully use the API token in a script to read JIRA Cloud issue descriptions.
For security reasons I would like to restrict the script to read-only access, but I see no way to limit the permissions of an API Token.
Is it possible to restrict the permissions associated with an API Token?
Hi @Per Mildner ,
It is not possible to restrict the scopes of such a token.
One workaround is to create a new user, which has only read-only access. Then create an API token for this new user, and the API token will have the same rights/restrictions as this new user.
