This page contains the scope permissions of the Power BI Jira Connector application and clarifies the app-specific security and compliance statements displayed on Atlassian Marketplace.
Atlassian Connect app scopes
When you install an Atlassian Connect app (also known as an add-on or plugin), you're prompted to approve and accept the app's scopes. For more information, refer to Atlassian Connect app scopes.
Since the Power BI Jira Connector application needs ADMIN permissions, the marketplace template displays the security and compliance statements below by default.
To view Power BI Jira Connector app security and compliance information, navigate to Atlassian Marketplace > Privacy & Security > Security and Compliance.
However, all the above default scope statements are not applicable to the Power BI Jira Connector app.
✅ The actual scope permissions needed by the Power BI Jira Connector app are detailed in the Marketplace descriptor file.

Power BI Jira Connector: Scope permissions
The Power BI Jira Connector only reads the data and does not write anything to Jira.
To use the app, you need the minimum Jira Project “Browse” permission.
Only the Jira Administrator can change the App settings.
Power BI Desktop
After importing the Jira data to Power BI Desktop, users have the flexibility to modify or delete the data in the Power BI Desktop.
Any change made to the data in Power BI Desktop is not written back to Jira.
During the subsequent data refresh, the data in Power BI Desktop is updated with newly imported data from Jira.
Hence, only the below scope capabilities are applicable to the Power BI Jira Connector app.
Scope | Capabilities |
|---|---|
Read | Read data from the host application |
Act as user | Act on a user's behalf, even when the user is offline |
Project administration | Administer JIRA projects |
Full Administration | Administer the host application |
