This is a two-part process:
You will first need to set an Integration User before you are able to create a Connection.
Then you will add the Connection to Salesforce.
Step 1: Select an integration user
An integration user must be a dedicated Jira user account specifically created for this purpose. See Setting up an integration user for more information.
Go to Settings > Add-ons/Manage apps.
In the sidebar, under Salesforce, choose Settings.
At the Settings screen, choose an Integration User for the Salesforce Package so that it can call Jira APIs on their behalf.
...
After selecting an Integration User, click Save.
Step 2: Add a new Connection
In the sidebar under Salesforce, choose Connections.
At the Salesforce Connections screen, click +Add Connection.
The New Connection dialog window will pop up.
Enter a Connection Name, then click Add.
...
The connection will be added to the Connection Name list but you'll notice it is Not Authorized.
Click Authorize under the Operations column.
...
Select the environment type of your Salesforce instance, either Production or Sandbox.
Click Authorize.

Note icon false When logging in to Salesforce to enter the code, the current user who logs in will become the "Salesforce Integration User".Follow the instructions. Once completed, return to your Jira instance and click Authorize.
