Create a Personal Access Token in Azure

Personal access tokens (PATs) contain Azure credential information required when creating a new Azure connection in TFS4JIRA.

This page provides instructions for creating a personal access token.

PATs are created for specific Azure user accounts. We also recommend that you create a dedicated user account in Azure. This account should be granted the permissions required by TFS4JIRA.

Log in to Azure DevOps as an administrator and select User settings from the top of the page.
Select Personal access tokens from the list.
