  1. Create a local Jira user account, grant this user permission to work with the connector. Afterward, SSO users can create connectors from their usual Jira accounts and share them with that local users' accounts and use the local user's credentials for exporting Jira data into Power BI Desktop. Please note that all data can be exported according to Jira permission schemes.

  2. Install “API Tokens for Jira” or "API Token Authentication Jira" apps. Creating and using Authentication Tokens allows SSO users to connect.

  3. Use Jira Personal Access Tokens to connect. Jira Personal Access Tokens can be created by users under the users' Profile and can be used instead of the password while connecting via the Web Data Connector. Please note: username should be left empty while using this connection option.
