Create Access Token

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.

Create Data Source

A data source is the primary source of data sets containing tables and fields for further analysis. It represents the data selected by the user for export to Microsoft Power BI.
