Describe the problem/error/question
I tried to use the Jira Nodes for N8n. It worked fine with my personal user account. I noticed that Atlassian offers service accounts. I guess it would be optimal to use such an Account for N8n, but I couldn’t get it to work to with a service user. When saving the credentials it always failed to authenticate.
I asked the doc’s AI of N8n, and it told me that the Jira node doesn’t support service users. I gave the Jira Service user these permissions:
Read
read:jira-work
read:jira-user
read:issue:jira
read:project:jira
read:project.property:jira
read:comment:jira
read:user:jira
read:group:jira
read:status:jira
read:workflow:jira
read:attachment:jira
read:board-scope:jira-software
read:sprint:jira-software
Write
write:jira-work
write:issue:jira
write:comment:jira
write:attachment:jira
write:webhook:jira
Manage
manage:jira-project
manage:jira-configuration
manage:jira-webhook
Delete
delete:issue:jira
So my question is, is it true that the Jira Node doesn’t support Service Users or did I misconfigure something? Did I misunderstand the point of Service Users? If it isn’t supported, is it a conscious decision to not support Service Users?
Let me know if I should open an issue on GitHub. I might even fork and implement it myself.
