Integrating Jira

Jira uses OAuth2 authorization to integrate with Harmony SaaS. OAuth2 authorization is a protocol that allows users to grant third-party applications limited access to their resources without sharing their credentials.

Note - The integration is disabled if the Atlassian Admin role is no longer associated with the user who installed the integration. For example, when the user quits the organization.
