📘 As not all users have permissions to export Jira data, Jira Cloud Administrators can grant necessary permissions to work with Power BI Connector for Jira Cloud for specific users or groups. The instructions below demonstrate how to grant these permissions, allowing users to create, edit, watch, and export connectors.

Administrators have the permission to work with the connector by default.

  • If the administrator sets an expiry date of 10 days, this setting will affect all valid access tokens with expiry date later than 10 days from now, as well as tokens with no expiry date. All tokens with less than 10 days remaining won’t be affected.

  • If, later today, the administrator sets an expiry date of 20 days, no access tokens will be affected, because they were already set to 10 days.

  • If the administrator turns off the expiry setting, no existing tokens will be affected.
