To export data from Jira to Tableau in a secure way, you will need to create an Access Token.
An Access Token functions like a password, so each user is required to create it individually. Jira Administrator cannot create the Access Tokens for other users due to security reasons.
Here are the steps to create your Access Token:
Open the Tableau Connector for Jira app and navigate to the Tokens section.
Make sure you’re at the Access Token tab.
Click on the "Create new token" button.
4. Enter a label that is short, memorable, and easy for you to remember.
5. Click the "Create" button to generate the Access Token.
6. Copy the Access Token that is generated. Please note that you won't be able to see the Access Token again once you leave this page.
7. You can create up to 25 Access Tokens and revoke those you don’t need anymore.
8. Use this Access Token as a password while connecting to Tableau. Please keep your Access Token secure, as it provides access to your Jira data.
