4. Enter

An access token functions like a password, so each user is required to create it individually. Jira Administrator cannot create access tokens for other users for security reasons.

  1. Being signed in to your Jira Cloud instance, select Apps, and then select Looker Studio Connector for Jira.

Access Token Expiration Date

Now you can set an expiration date for your access token. This feature allows you to better manage your security settings and ensure your access remains secure and up-to-date.

  • The tokens created before a new feature implementation don’t have a creation date and expiration date, therefore they are considered non-expiring.

  • All new tokens have a creation date and might have an expiration date (this is optional).
