Before Jira server content can be indexed, the Jira connector must be provided with the credentials of an account with full read-only privileges on the corresponding Jira server. It is important that the account has full read-only privileges, because then all content on the Jira server will be indexed while ensuring none of the content is changed.
It is highly recommended to create a new, dedicated user on the Jira server that will be used exclusively for indexing data.

| Setting Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection Name | The name of the connection |
| Jira url | Url of the Jira server. Must start with https:// (instead of www. or http://) |
| Index User Name | Username of the full read-only user that was created to index data |
| Index User API Token | API Token of the full read-only user that was created to index data. Jira connector: Create API token |
