Configure Atlassian Jira Cloud for the Next Generation API Data Protection
To configure Atlassian Jira Cloud for the Next Generation API Data Protection, follow the instructions below.
Prerequisites
Before configuring Atlassian Jira Cloud for the Next Generation API Data Protection, review the prerequisite.
You require an Atlassian standard, premium or enterprise subscription plan.
An Atlassian site-admin account with the following permissions:
Global Permissions: Administer Jira and Browse users and groups
Project Permissions: Browse Projects
Refer to manage-global-permissions and manage-project-permissions for more information
Important
Netskope recommends to create a dedicated service account (with appropriate permission) exclusively for the Netskope integration. Revoking access to this service account will break the integration with Netskope. Creating a dedicated service account will ensure that the integration with Netskope will not break due to an exiting employee, and consequently a deactivation of the account.
