How to Export Data Requiring Jira API Token
To export certain tables, you'll need to add a Jira API token. These tables include:
Project Roles: only the Administrator can export this table
Group Members: only the Administrator can export this table
User Jira Properties: only the Administrator can export this table
User Profiles
Sprint Reports
Sprint Report Issues
Velocity Charts
All Assets (Insight) tables
Users: you can't export inactive users without a Jira API token
In all other cases, a Jira API token is not necessary.

2. Click a “Create and manage API tokens” link in the Security tab
3. Click Create API token button
4. Enter an API token name and click Create
5. Make sure you copy your new API token. You won’t be able to see the token again.
