Atlassian Personal Access Tokens

Parameters

  • user (email address)
  • token or password (access token)
  • Atlassian has removed support for use of Basic and Session authentication

Personal Access Tokens for Server and Datacenter

...

Personal access tokens can be created in the UI by going to your profile - see Atlassian documentation on personal access tokens.

Restrictions

  1. Some server remote capabilities used in various CLI actions may not support access via personal access tokens - actions like renderRequest or actions that use similar support under the covers depending on action parameters used. In this case, you will get an error message like:

    Client error: Action or capability not available when using token authentication. Use user and password parameters instead.

    In some cases, you can avoid restricted capabilities by adjusting parameters you are using on the action. Otherwise, you need to revert to the standard user and password support.
  2. Secure administrator sessions (websudo) is turned on for your instance and you are attempting a secured administration action. In this case, you will get websudo permission errors. Turn off websudo for your site or revert to the standard user and password support.
