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.
