How to change the Salesforce integration user

Purpose

When an admin installs Space to migrate individual pages and authorizes a Connection, the admin will automatically be the integration user for the Connector since a Connection is authorized using the Jira admin's Salesforce credentials.

If the user ceases to be the Jira admin, you may want to change the integration user for the Connector. 

Answer

Revoke the Connection from within both Salesforce and Jira to force creation of a new token.
