Testing
Mocha is generally used to test all Itential Opensource Adapters. There are unit tests as well as integration tests performed. Integration tests can generally be run as standalone using mock data and running the adapter in stub mode, or as integrated. When running integrated, every effort is made to prevent environmental failures, however there is still a possibility.
Unit Testing
Unit Testing includes testing basic adapter functionality as well as error conditions that are triggered in the adapter prior to any integration. There are two ways to run unit tests. The prefered method is to use the testRunner script; however, both methods are provided here.
node utils/testRunner --unit
npm run test:unit
npm run test:baseunit
To add new unit tests, edit the test/unit/adapterTestUnit.js file. The tests that are already in this file should provide guidance for adding additional tests.
Integration Testing - Standalone
Standalone Integration Testing requires mock data to be provided with the entities. If this data is not provided, standalone integration testing will fail. When the adapter is set to run in stub mode (setting the stub property to true), the adapter will run through its code up to the point of making the request. It will then retrieve the mock data and return that as if it had received that data as the response from Jira. It will then translate the data so that the adapter can return the expected response to the rest of the Itential software. Standalone is the default integration test.
Similar to unit testing, there are two ways to run integration tests. Using the testRunner script is better because it prevents you from having to edit the test script; it will also resets information after testing is complete so that credentials are not saved in the file.
node utils/testRunner
answer no at the first prompt
npm run test:integration
To add new integration tests, edit the test/integration/adapterTestIntegration.js file. The tests that are already in this file should provide guidance for adding additional tests.
Integration Testing
Integration Testing requires connectivity to Jira. By using the testRunner script it prevents you from having to edit the integration test. It also resets the integration test after the test is complete so that credentials are not saved in the file.
Note: These tests have been written as a best effort to make them work in most environments. However, the Adapter Builder often does not have the necessary information that is required to set up valid integration tests. For example, the order of the requests can be very important and data is often required for creates and updates. Hence, integration tests may have to be enhanced before they will work (integrate) with Jira. Even after tests have been set up properly, it is possible there are environmental constraints that could result in test failures. Some examples of possible environmental issues are customizations that have been made within Jira which change order dependencies or required data.
node utils/testRunner
answer yes at the first prompt
answer all other questions on connectivity and credentials
Test should also be written to clean up after themselves. However, it is important to understand that in some cases this may not be possible. In addition, whenever exceptions occur, test execution may be stopped, which will prevent cleanup actions from running. It is recommended that tests be utilized in dev and test labs only.
Reminder: Do not check in code with actual credentials to systems.
Configuration
This section defines all the properties that are available for the adapter, including detailed information on what each property is for. If you are not using certain capabilities with this adapter, you do not need to define all of the properties. An example of how the properties for this adapter can be used with tests or IAP are provided in the sampleProperties.
These base properties are used to connect to Jira upon the adapter initially coming up. It is important to set these properties appropriately.
Property
Description
host
Required. A fully qualified domain name or IP address.
port
Required. Used to connect to the server.
base_path
Optional. Used to define part of a path that is consistent for all or most endpoints. It makes the URIs easier to use and maintain but can be overridden on individual calls. An example **base_path** might be `/rest/api`. Default is ``.
version
Optional. Used to set a global version for action endpoints. This makes it faster to update the adapter when endpoints change. As with the base-path, version can be overridden on individual endpoints. Default is ``.
cache_location
Optional. Used to define where the adapter cache is located. The cache is used to maintain an entity list to improve performance. Storage locally is lost when the adapter is restarted. Storage in Redis is preserved upon adapter restart. Default is none which means no caching of the entity list.
encode_pathvars
Optional. Used to tell the adapter to encode path variables or not. The default behavior is to encode them so this property can be used to stop that behavior.
encode_queryvars
Optional. Used to tell the adapter to encode query parameters or not. The default behavior is to encode them so this property can be used to stop that behavior.
save_metric
Optional. Used to tell the adapter to save metric information (this does not impact metrics returned on calls). This allows the adapter to gather metrics over time. Metric data can be stored in a database or on the file system.
stub
Optional. Indicates whether the stub should run instead of making calls to Jira (very useful during basic testing). Default is false (which means connect to Jira).
protocol
Optional. Notifies the adapter whether to use HTTP or HTTPS. Default is HTTP.
A connectivity check tells IAP the adapter has loaded successfully.
Authentication Properties
The following properties are used to define the authentication process to Jira.
Note: Depending on the method that is used to authenticate with Jira, you may not need to set all of the authentication properties.
Property
Description
auth_method
Required. Used to define the type of authentication currently supported. Authentication methods currently supported are: `basic user_password`, `static_token`, `request_token`, and `no_authentication`.
username
Used to authenticate with Jira on every request or when pulling a token that will be used in subsequent requests.
password
Used to authenticate with Jira on every request or when pulling a token that will be used in subsequent requests.
token
Defines a static token that can be used on all requests. Only used with `static_token` as an authentication method (auth\_method).
invalid_token_error
Defines the HTTP error that is received when the token is invalid. Notifies the adapter to pull a new token and retry the request. Default is 401.
token_timeout
Defines how long a token is valid. Measured in milliseconds. Once a dynamic token is no longer valid, the adapter has to pull a new token. If the token_timeout is set to -1, the adapter will pull a token on every request to Jira. If the timeout_token is 0, the adapter will use the expiration from the token response to determine when the token is no longer valid.
token_cache
Used to determine where the token should be stored (local memory or in Redis).
auth_field
Defines the request field the authentication (e.g., token are basic auth credentials) needs to be placed in order for the calls to work.
auth_field_format
Defines the format of the auth\_field. See examples below. Items enclosed in {} inform the adapter to perofrm an action prior to sending the data. It may be to replace the item with a value or it may be to encode the item.
auth_logging
Setting this true will add some additional logs but this should only be done when trying to debug an issue as certain credential information may be logged out when this is true.
client_id
Provide a client id when needed, this is common on some types of OAuth.
client_secret
Provide a client secret when needed, this is common on some types of OAuth.
grant_type
Provide a grant type when needed, this is common on some types of OAuth.
The healthcheck properties defines the API that runs the healthcheck to tell the adapter that it can reach Jira. There are currently three types of healthchecks.
None - Not recommended. Adapter will not run a healthcheck. Consequently, unable to determine before making a request if the adapter can reach Jira.
Startup - Adapter will check for connectivity when the adapter initially comes up, but it will not check afterwards.
Intermittent - Adapter will check connectivity to Jira at a frequency defined in the frequency property.
Property
Description
type
Required. The type of health check to run.
frequency
Required if intermittent. Defines how often the health check should run. Measured in milliseconds. Default is 300000.
query_object
Query parameters to be added to the adapter healthcheck call.
Request Properties
The request section defines properties to help handle requests.
Property
Description
number_redirects
Optional. Tells the adapter that the request may be redirected and gives it a maximum number of redirects to allow before returning an error. Default is 0 - no redirects.
number_retries
Tells the adapter how many times to retry a request that has either aborted or reached a limit error before giving up and returning an error.
limit_retry_error
Optional. Can be either an integer or an array. Indicates the http error status number to define that no capacity was available and, after waiting a short interval, the adapter can retry the request. If an array is provvided, the array can contain integers or strings. Strings in the array are used to define ranges (e.g. "502-506"). Default is [0].
failover_codes
An array of error codes for which the adapter will send back a failover flag to IAP so that the Platform can attempt the action in another adapter.
attempt_timeout
Optional. Tells how long the adapter should wait before aborting the attempt. On abort, the adapter will do one of two things: 1) return the error; or 2) if **healthcheck\_on\_timeout** is set to true, it will abort the request and run a Healthcheck until it re-establishes connectivity to Jira, and then will re-attempt the request that aborted. Default is 5000 milliseconds.
global_request
Optional. This is information that the adapter can include in all requests to the other system. This is easier to define and maintain than adding this information in either the code (adapter.js) or the action files.
global_request -> payload
Optional. Defines any information that should be included on all requests sent to the other system that have a payload/body.
global_request -> uriOptions
Optional. Defines any information that should be sent as untranslated query options (e.g. page, size) on all requests to the other system.
global_request -> addlHeaders
Optioonal. Defines any headers that should be sent on all requests to the other system.
global_request -> authData
Optional. Defines any additional authentication data used to authentice with the other system. This authData needs to be consistent on every request.
healthcheck_on_timeout
Required. Defines if the adapter should run a health check on timeout. If set to true, the adapter will abort the request and run a health check until it re-establishes connectivity and then it will re-attempt the request.
return_raw
Optional. Tells the adapter whether the raw response should be returned as well as the IAP response. This is helpful when running integration tests to save mock data. It does add overhead to the response object so it is not ideal from production.
archiving
Optional flag. Default is false. It archives the request, the results and the various times (wait time, Jira time and overall time) in the `adapterid_results` collection in MongoDB. Although archiving might be desirable, be sure to develop a strategy before enabling this capability. Consider how much to archive and what strategy to use for cleaning up the collection in the database so that it does not become too large, especially if the responses are large.
return_request
Optional flag. Default is false. Will return the actual request that is made including headers. This should only be used during debugging issues as there could be credentials in the actual request.
SSL Properties
The SSL section defines the properties utilized for ssl authentication with Jira. SSL can work two different ways: set the accept\_invalid\_certs flag to true (only recommended for lab environments), or provide a ca\_file.
Property
Description
enabled
If SSL is required, set to true.
accept_invalid_certs
Defines if the adapter should accept invalid certificates (only recommended for lab environments). Required if SSL is enabled. Default is false.
ca_file
Defines the path name to the CA file used for SSL. If SSL is enabled and the accept invalid certifications is false, then ca_file is required.
key_file
Defines the path name to the Key file used for SSL. The key_file may be needed for some systems but it is not required for SSL.
cert_file
Defines the path name to the Certificate file used for SSL. The cert_file may be needed for some systems but it is not required for SSL.
secure_protocol
Defines the protocol (e.g., SSLv3_method) to use on the SSL request.
ciphers
Required if SSL enabled. Specifies a list of SSL ciphers to use.
ecdhCurve
During testing on some Node 8 environments, you need to set `ecdhCurve` to auto. If you do not, you will receive PROTO errors when attempting the calls. This is the only usage of this property and to our knowledge it only impacts Node 8 and 9.
Throttle Properties
The throttle section is used when requests to Jira must be queued (throttled). All of the properties in this section are optional.
Property
Description
throttle_enabled
Default is false. Defines if the adapter should use throttling or not.
number_pronghorns
Default is 1. Defines if throttling is done in a single Itential instance or whether requests are being throttled across multiple Itential instances (minimum = 1, maximum = 20). Throttling in a single Itential instance uses an in-memory queue so there is less overhead. Throttling across multiple Itential instances requires placing the request and queue information into a shared resource (e.g. database) so that each instance can determine what is running and what is next to run. Throttling across multiple instances requires additional I/O overhead.
sync-async
This property is not used at the current time (it is for future expansion of the throttling engine).
max_in_queue
Represents the maximum number of requests the adapter should allow into the queue before rejecting requests (minimum = 1, maximum = 5000). This is not a limit on what the adapter can handle but more about timely responses to requests. The default is currently 1000.
concurrent_max
Defines the number of requests the adapter can send to Jira at one time (minimum = 1, maximum = 1000). The default is 1 meaning each request must be sent to Jira in a serial manner.
expire_timeout
Default is 0. Defines a graceful timeout of the request session. After a request has completed, the adapter will wait additional time prior to sending the next request. Measured in milliseconds (minimum = 0, maximum = 60000).
average_runtime
Represents the approximate average of how long it takes Jira to handle each request. Measured in milliseconds (minimum = 50, maximum = 60000). Default is 200. This metric has performance implications. If the runtime number is set too low, it puts extra burden on the CPU and memory as the requests will continually try to run. If the runtime number is set too high, requests may wait longer than they need to before running. The number does not need to be exact but your throttling strategy depends heavily on this number being within reason. If averages range from 50 to 250 milliseconds you might pick an average run-time somewhere in the middle so that when Jira performance is exceptional you might run a little slower than you might like, but when it is poor you still run efficiently.
priorities
An array of priorities and how to handle them in relation to the throttle queue. Array of objects that include priority value and percent of queue to put the item ex { value: 1, percent: 10 }
Proxy Properties
The proxy section defines the properties to utilize when Jira is behind a proxy server.
Property
Description
enabled
Required. Default is false. If Jira is behind a proxy server, set enabled flag to true.
host
Host information for the proxy server. Required if `enabled` is true.
port
Port information for the proxy server. Required if `enabled` is true.
protocol
The protocol (i.e., http, https, etc.) used to connect to the proxy. Default is http.
username
If there is authentication for the proxy, provide the username here.
password
If there is authentication for the proxy, provide the password here.
Mongo Properties
The mongo section defines the properties used to connect to a Mongo database. Mongo can be used for throttling as well as to persist metric data. If not provided, metrics will be stored in the file system.
Property
Description
host
Optional. Host information for the mongo server.
port
Optional. Port information for the mongo server.
database
Optional. The database for the adapter to use for its data.
username
Optional. If credentials are required to access mongo, this is the user to login as.
password
Optional. If credentials are required to access mongo, this is the password to login with.
replSet
Optional. If the database is set up to use replica sets, define it here so it can be added to the database connection.
db_ssl
Optional. Contains information for SSL connectivity to the database.
db_ssl -> enabled
If SSL is required, set to true.
db_ssl -> accept_invalid_cert
Defines if the adapter should accept invalid certificates (only recommended for lab environments). Required if SSL is enabled. Default is false.
db_ssl -> ca_file
Defines the path name to the CA file used for SSL. If SSL is enabled and the accept invalid certifications is false, then ca_file is required.
db_ssl -> key_file
Defines the path name to the Key file used for SSL. The key_file may be needed for some systems but it is not required for SSL.
db_ssl -> cert_file
Defines the path name to the Certificate file used for SSL. The cert_file may be needed for some systems but it is not required for SSL.
Device Broker Properties
The device broker section defines the properties used integrate Jira to the device broker. Each broker call is represented and has an array of calls that can be used to build the response. This describes the calls and then the fields which are available in the calls.
Property
Description
getDevice
The array of calls used to get device details for the broker
getDevicesFiltered
The array of calls used to get devices for the broker
isAlive
The array of calls used to get device status for the broker
getConfig

Object containing fields the adapter should send on the request and where it should get the data. The where can be from a response to a getDevicesFiltered or a static value.
Object containing fields the adapter should set to send back to iap and where the value should come from in the response or request data.
Using this Adapter
The adapter.js file contains the calls the adapter makes available to the rest of the Itential Platform. The API detailed for these calls should be available through JSDOC. The following is a brief summary of the calls.
Generic Adapter Calls
These are adapter methods that IAP or you might use. There are some other methods not shown here that might be used for internal adapter functionality.

The parameters for this resource are expressed as HTML form data. For example, in curl:
curl -X PUT -d columns=summary -d columns=description https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/filter/10000/columns
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however, columns are only set for:
filters owned by the user.
filters shared with a group that the user is a member of.
filters shared with a private project that the user has Browse projectsproject permission for.
Removes a filter as a favorite for the user. Note that this operation only removes filters visible to the user from the user's favorites list. For example, if the user favorites a public filter that is subsequently made private (and is therefore no longer visible on their favorites list) they cannot remove it from their favorites list.
Returns the share permissions for a filter. A filter can be shared with groups, projects, all logged-in users, or the public. Sharing with all logged-in users or the public is known as a global share permission.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however, only the following are returned:
filters owned by the user.
filters shared with a group that the user is a member of.
filters shared with a private project that the user has Browse projectsproject permission for.
Add a share permissions to a filter. If you add a global share permission (one for all logged-in users or the public) it will overwrite all share permissions for the filter.
Be aware that this operation uses different objects for updating share permissions compared to Update filter.

curl -X PUT -d columns=summary -d columns=description https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/settings/columns
If no column details are sent, then all default columns are removed.
A navigable field is one that can be used as a column on the issue navigator. Find details of navigable issue columns using Get fields.
Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of [notification schemes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) in order by display name.
About notification schemes
A notification scheme is a list of events and recipients who will receive notifications for those events. The list is contained within the notificationSchemeEvents object and contains pairs of events and notifications:
notifications Identifies the recipients of notifications for each event. Recipients can be any of the following types:
CurrentAssignee
Reporter
CurrentUser
ProjectLead
ComponentLead
User (the parameter is the user key)
Group (the parameter is the group name)
ProjectRole (the parameter is the project role ID)
EmailAddress
AllWatchers
UserCustomField (the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
GroupCustomField(the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
Note that you should allow for events without recipients to appear in responses.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with a notification scheme for it to be returned.
Returns a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg), including the list of events and the recipients who will receive notifications for those events.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with the notification scheme.
Sets a property value on multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by a filter.
The filter identifies issues eligible for update using these criteria:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
hasProperty:
If true, only issues with the property are eligible.
If false, only issues without the property are eligible.
If more than one criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy all criteria are eligible.
If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.
Returns the application properties that are accessible on the *Advanced Settings* page. To navigate to the *Advanced Settings* page in Jira, choose the Jira icon > **Jira settings** > **System**, **General Configuration** and then click **Advanced Settings** (in the upper right).

The number of days before a prompt to sign up to the Jira Insiders newsletter is shown. A value of -1 disables this functionality.
Returns the [global settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/qYXKM) in Jira. These settings determine whether optional features (for example, subtasks, time tracking, and others) are enabled. If time tracking is enabled, this operation also returns the time tracking configuration.
Returns reference data for JQL searches. This is a downloadable version of the documentation provided in [Advanced searching - fields reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/gwORLQ) and [Advanced searching - functions reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/hgORLQ), along with a list of JQL-reserved words. Use this information to assist with the programmatic creation of JQL queries or the validation of queries built in a custom query builder.
Converts one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQL queries with account IDs.
You may wish to use this operation if your system stores JQL queries and you want to make them GDPR-compliant. For more information about GDPR-related changes, see the migration guide.
Creates a preference for the user or updates a preference's value by sending a plain text string. For example, `false`. An arbitrary preference can be created with the value containing up to 255 characters. In addition, the following keys define system preferences that can be set or created:
user.notifications.mimetype The mime type used in notifications sent to the user. Defaults to html.
user.notify.own.changes Indicates whether the user gets notified of their own changes. Defaults to false.
jira.user.locale The locale of the user. By default, not set: the user takes the instance locale. See also, Set locale.
jira.user.timezone The time zone of the user. By default, not set, the user takes the instance time zone.
user.default.share.private Indicates whether new filters are set to private. Defaults to true.
user.keyboard.shortcuts.disabled Indicates whether keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Defaults to false.
user.autowatch.disabled Indicates whether the user automatically watches issues they create or add a comment to. By default, not set: the user takes the instance autowatch setting.
If the user has no language preference set (which is the default setting) or this resource is accessed anonymous, the browser locale detected by Jira is returned. Jira detects the browser locale using the Accept-Language header in the request. However, if this doesn't match a locale available Jira, the site default locale is returned.
Returns a list of permissions indicating which permissions the user has. Details of the user's permissions can be obtained in a global, project, or issue context.
The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter. However, if they are not the user who reported the issue queried they would not have EDIT_ISSUE permission for that issue.
for a list of global permissions, the global permissions granted to the user.
for a list of project permissions and lists of projects and issues, for each project permission a list of the projects and issues the user can access or manipulate.
Note that:
Invalid project and issue IDs are ignored.
A maximum of 1000 projects and 1000 issues can be checked.
A permission scheme is a collection of permission grants. A permission grant consists of a holder and a permission.
Holder
The holder object contains information about the user or group being granted the permission. For example, the Administer projects permission is granted to a group named Teams in space administrators. In this case, the type is "type": "group", and the parameter is the group name, "parameter": "Teams in space administrators". The holder object is defined by the following properties:
type Identifies the user or group (see the list of types below).
parameter The value of this property depends on the type. For example, if the type is a group, then you need to specify the group name.
The following types are available. The expected values for the parameter are given in parenthesis (some types may not have a parameter):
anyone Grant for anonymous users.
applicationRole Grant for users with access to the specified application (application name). See Manage application access for more information.
assignee Grant for the user currently assigned to an issue.
group Grant for the specified group (group name).
groupCustomField Grant for a user in the group selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
projectLead Grant for a project lead.
projectRole Grant for the specified project role (project role ID).
reporter Grant for the user who reported the issue.
sd.customer.portal.only Jira Service Desk only. Grants customers permission to access the customer portal but not Jira. See Customizing Jira Service Desk permissions for more information.
user Grant for the specified user (user ID - historically this was the userkey but that is deprecated and the account ID should be used).
userCustomField Grant for a user selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
Gets a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) associated with the project. See the [Get notification scheme](#api-api-2-notificationscheme-id-get) resource for more information about notification schemes.

Returns the [global settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/qYXKM) in Jira. These settings determine whether optional features (for example, subtasks, time tracking, and others) are enabled. If time tracking is enabled, this operation also returns the time tracking configuration.
Returns reference data for JQL searches. This is a downloadable version of the documentation provided in [Advanced searching - fields reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/gwORLQ) and [Advanced searching - functions reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/hgORLQ), along with a list of JQL-reserved words. Use this information to assist with the programmatic creation of JQL queries or the validation of queries built in a custom query builder.
Converts one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQL queries with account IDs.
You may wish to use this operation if your system stores JQL queries and you want to make them GDPR-compliant. For more information about GDPR-related changes, see the migration guide.
Creates a preference for the user or updates a preference's value by sending a plain text string. For example, `false`. An arbitrary preference can be created with the value containing up to 255 characters. In addition, the following keys define system preferences that can be set or created:
user.notifications.mimetype The mime type used in notifications sent to the user. Defaults to html.
user.notify.own.changes Indicates whether the user gets notified of their own changes. Defaults to false.
jira.user.locale The locale of the user. By default, not set: the user takes the instance locale. See also, Set locale.
jira.user.timezone The time zone of the user. By default, not set, the user takes the instance time zone.
user.default.share.private Indicates whether new filters are set to private. Defaults to true.
user.keyboard.shortcuts.disabled Indicates whether keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Defaults to false.
user.autowatch.disabled Indicates whether the user automatically watches issues they create or add a comment to. By default, not set: the user takes the instance autowatch setting.
If the user has no language preference set (which is the default setting) or this resource is accessed anonymous, the browser locale detected by Jira is returned. Jira detects the browser locale using the Accept-Language header in the request. However, if this doesn't match a locale available Jira, the site default locale is returned.
Returns a list of permissions indicating which permissions the user has. Details of the user's permissions can be obtained in a global, project, or issue context.
The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter. However, if they are not the user who reported the issue queried they would not have EDIT_ISSUE permission for that issue.
for a list of global permissions, the global permissions granted to the user.
for a list of project permissions and lists of projects and issues, for each project permission a list of the projects and issues the user can access or manipulate.
Note that:
Invalid project and issue IDs are ignored.
A maximum of 1000 projects and 1000 issues can be checked.
A permission scheme is a collection of permission grants. A permission grant consists of a holder and a permission.
Holder
The holder object contains information about the user or group being granted the permission. For example, the Administer projects permission is granted to a group named Teams in space administrators. In this case, the type is "type": "group", and the parameter is the group name, "parameter": "Teams in space administrators". The holder object is defined by the following properties:
type Identifies the user or group (see the list of types below).
parameter The value of this property depends on the type. For example, if the type is a group, then you need to specify the group name.
The following types are available. The expected values for the parameter are given in parenthesis (some types may not have a parameter):
anyone Grant for anonymous users.
applicationRole Grant for users with access to the specified application (application name). See Manage application access for more information.

groupCustomField Grant for a user in the group selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
projectLead Grant for a project lead.
projectRole Grant for the specified project role (project role ID).
reporter Grant for the user who reported the issue.
sd.customer.portal.only Jira Service Desk only. Grants customers permission to access the customer portal but not Jira. See Customizing Jira Service Desk permissions for more information.
user Grant for the specified user (user ID - historically this was the userkey but that is deprecated and the account ID should be used).
userCustomField Grant for a user selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).

Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of [notification schemes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) in order by display name.
About notification schemes
A notification scheme is a list of events and recipients who will receive notifications for those events. The list is contained within the notificationSchemeEvents object and contains pairs of events and notifications:
notifications Identifies the recipients of notifications for each event. Recipients can be any of the following types:
CurrentAssignee
Reporter
CurrentUser
ProjectLead
ComponentLead
User (the parameter is the user key)
Group (the parameter is the group name)
ProjectRole (the parameter is the project role ID)
EmailAddress
AllWatchers
UserCustomField (the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
GroupCustomField(the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
Note that you should allow for events without recipients to appear in responses.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with a notification scheme for it to be returned.
Returns a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg), including the list of events and the recipients who will receive notifications for those events.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with the notification scheme.
Sets a property value on multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by a filter.
The filter identifies issues eligible for update using these criteria:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
hasProperty:
If true, only issues with the property are eligible.
If false, only issues without the property are eligible.
If more than one criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy all criteria are eligible.
If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.
Returns the application properties that are accessible on the *Advanced Settings* page. To navigate to the *Advanced Settings* page in Jira, choose the Jira icon > **Jira settings** > **System**, **General Configuration** and then click **Advanced Settings** (in the upper right).

The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter.

Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of [notification schemes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) in order by display name.
About notification schemes
A notification scheme is a list of events and recipients who will receive notifications for those events. The list is contained within the notificationSchemeEvents object and contains pairs of events and notifications:
notifications Identifies the recipients of notifications for each event. Recipients can be any of the following types:
CurrentAssignee
Reporter
CurrentUser
ProjectLead
ComponentLead
User (the parameter is the user key)
Group (the parameter is the group name)
ProjectRole (the parameter is the project role ID)
EmailAddress
AllWatchers
UserCustomField (the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
GroupCustomField(the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
Note that you should allow for events without recipients to appear in responses.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with a notification scheme for it to be returned.
Returns a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg), including the list of events and the recipients who will receive notifications for those events.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with the notification scheme.
Sets a property value on multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by a filter.
The filter identifies issues eligible for update using these criteria:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
hasProperty:
If true, only issues with the property are eligible.
If false, only issues without the property are eligible.
If more than one criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy all criteria are eligible.
If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.
Returns the application properties that are accessible on the *Advanced Settings* page. To navigate to the *Advanced Settings* page in Jira, choose the Jira icon > **Jira settings** > **System**, **General Configuration** and then click **Advanced Settings** (in the upper right).

Returns the [global settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/qYXKM) in Jira. These settings determine whether optional features (for example, subtasks, time tracking, and others) are enabled. If time tracking is enabled, this operation also returns the time tracking configuration.
Returns reference data for JQL searches. This is a downloadable version of the documentation provided in [Advanced searching - fields reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/gwORLQ) and [Advanced searching - functions reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/hgORLQ), along with a list of JQL-reserved words. Use this information to assist with the programmatic creation of JQL queries or the validation of queries built in a custom query builder.
Converts one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQL queries with account IDs.
You may wish to use this operation if your system stores JQL queries and you want to make them GDPR-compliant. For more information about GDPR-related changes, see the migration guide.
Creates a preference for the user or updates a preference's value by sending a plain text string. For example, `false`. An arbitrary preference can be created with the value containing up to 255 characters. In addition, the following keys define system preferences that can be set or created:
user.notifications.mimetype The mime type used in notifications sent to the user. Defaults to html.
user.notify.own.changes Indicates whether the user gets notified of their own changes. Defaults to false.
jira.user.locale The locale of the user. By default, not set: the user takes the instance locale. See also, Set locale.
jira.user.timezone The time zone of the user. By default, not set, the user takes the instance time zone.
user.default.share.private Indicates whether new filters are set to private. Defaults to true.
user.keyboard.shortcuts.disabled Indicates whether keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Defaults to false.
user.autowatch.disabled Indicates whether the user automatically watches issues they create or add a comment to. By default, not set: the user takes the instance autowatch setting.
If the user has no language preference set (which is the default setting) or this resource is accessed anonymous, the browser locale detected by Jira is returned. Jira detects the browser locale using the Accept-Language header in the request. However, if this doesn't match a locale available Jira, the site default locale is returned.
Returns a list of permissions indicating which permissions the user has. Details of the user's permissions can be obtained in a global, project, or issue context.
The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter. However, if they are not the user who reported the issue queried they would not have EDIT_ISSUE permission for that issue.
for a list of global permissions, the global permissions granted to the user.
for a list of project permissions and lists of projects and issues, for each project permission a list of the projects and issues the user can access or manipulate.
Note that:
Invalid project and issue IDs are ignored.
A maximum of 1000 projects and 1000 issues can be checked.
A permission scheme is a collection of permission grants. A permission grant consists of a holder and a permission.
Holder
The holder object contains information about the user or group being granted the permission. For example, the Administer projects permission is granted to a group named Teams in space administrators. In this case, the type is "type": "group", and the parameter is the group name, "parameter": "Teams in space administrators". The holder object is defined by the following properties:
type Identifies the user or group (see the list of types below).
parameter The value of this property depends on the type. For example, if the type is a group, then you need to specify the group name.
The following types are available. The expected values for the parameter are given in parenthesis (some types may not have a parameter):
anyone Grant for anonymous users.
applicationRole Grant for users with access to the specified application (application name). See Manage application access for more information.
assignee Grant for the user currently assigned to an issue.
group Grant for the specified group (group name).
groupCustomField Grant for a user in the group selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
projectLead Grant for a project lead.
projectRole Grant for the specified project role (project role ID).
reporter Grant for the user who reported the issue.
sd.customer.portal.only Jira Service Desk only. Grants customers permission to access the customer portal but not Jira. See Customizing Jira Service Desk permissions for more information.
user Grant for the specified user (user ID - historically this was the userkey but that is deprecated and the account ID should be used).
userCustomField Grant for a user selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
Gets a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) associated with the project. See the [Get notification scheme](#api-api-2-notificationscheme-id-get) resource for more information about notification schemes.

Returns the [global settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/qYXKM) in Jira. These settings determine whether optional features (for example, subtasks, time tracking, and others) are enabled. If time tracking is enabled, this operation also returns the time tracking configuration.
Returns reference data for JQL searches. This is a downloadable version of the documentation provided in [Advanced searching - fields reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/gwORLQ) and [Advanced searching - functions reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/hgORLQ), along with a list of JQL-reserved words. Use this information to assist with the programmatic creation of JQL queries or the validation of queries built in a custom query builder.
Converts one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQL queries with account IDs.
You may wish to use this operation if your system stores JQL queries and you want to make them GDPR-compliant. For more information about GDPR-related changes, see the migration guide.
Creates a preference for the user or updates a preference's value by sending a plain text string. For example, `false`. An arbitrary preference can be created with the value containing up to 255 characters. In addition, the following keys define system preferences that can be set or created:
user.notifications.mimetype The mime type used in notifications sent to the user. Defaults to html.
user.notify.own.changes Indicates whether the user gets notified of their own changes. Defaults to false.
jira.user.locale The locale of the user. By default, not set: the user takes the instance locale. See also, Set locale.
jira.user.timezone The time zone of the user. By default, not set, the user takes the instance time zone.
user.default.share.private Indicates whether new filters are set to private. Defaults to true.
user.keyboard.shortcuts.disabled Indicates whether keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Defaults to false.
user.autowatch.disabled Indicates whether the user automatically watches issues they create or add a comment to. By default, not set: the user takes the instance autowatch setting.
If the user has no language preference set (which is the default setting) or this resource is accessed anonymous, the browser locale detected by Jira is returned. Jira detects the browser locale using the Accept-Language header in the request. However, if this doesn't match a locale available Jira, the site default locale is returned.
Returns a list of permissions indicating which permissions the user has. Details of the user's permissions can be obtained in a global, project, or issue context.
The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter. However, if they are not the user who reported the issue queried they would not have EDIT_ISSUE permission for that issue.
for a list of global permissions, the global permissions granted to the user.
for a list of project permissions and lists of projects and issues, for each project permission a list of the projects and issues the user can access or manipulate.
Note that:
Invalid project and issue IDs are ignored.
A maximum of 1000 projects and 1000 issues can be checked.
A permission scheme is a collection of permission grants. A permission grant consists of a holder and a permission.
Holder
The holder object contains information about the user or group being granted the permission. For example, the Administer projects permission is granted to a group named Teams in space administrators. In this case, the type is "type": "group", and the parameter is the group name, "parameter": "Teams in space administrators". The holder object is defined by the following properties:
type Identifies the user or group (see the list of types below).
parameter The value of this property depends on the type. For example, if the type is a group, then you need to specify the group name.
The following types are available. The expected values for the parameter are given in parenthesis (some types may not have a parameter):
anyone Grant for anonymous users.
applicationRole Grant for users with access to the specified application (application name). See Manage application access for more information.

Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of [notification schemes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) in order by display name.
About notification schemes
A notification scheme is a list of events and recipients who will receive notifications for those events. The list is contained within the notificationSchemeEvents object and contains pairs of events and notifications:
notifications Identifies the recipients of notifications for each event. Recipients can be any of the following types:
CurrentAssignee
Reporter
CurrentUser
ProjectLead
ComponentLead
User (the parameter is the user key)
Group (the parameter is the group name)
ProjectRole (the parameter is the project role ID)
EmailAddress
AllWatchers
UserCustomField (the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
GroupCustomField(the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
Note that you should allow for events without recipients to appear in responses.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with a notification scheme for it to be returned.
Returns a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg), including the list of events and the recipients who will receive notifications for those events.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with the notification scheme.
Sets a property value on multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by a filter.
The filter identifies issues eligible for update using these criteria:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
hasProperty:
If true, only issues with the property are eligible.
If false, only issues without the property are eligible.
If more than one criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy all criteria are eligible.
If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.
Returns the application properties that are accessible on the *Advanced Settings* page. To navigate to the *Advanced Settings* page in Jira, choose the Jira icon > **Jira settings** > **System**, **General Configuration** and then click **Advanced Settings** (in the upper right).

Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of [notification schemes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) in order by display name.
About notification schemes
A notification scheme is a list of events and recipients who will receive notifications for those events. The list is contained within the notificationSchemeEvents object and contains pairs of events and notifications:
notifications Identifies the recipients of notifications for each event. Recipients can be any of the following types:
CurrentAssignee
Reporter
CurrentUser
ProjectLead
ComponentLead
User (the parameter is the user key)
Group (the parameter is the group name)
ProjectRole (the parameter is the project role ID)
EmailAddress
AllWatchers
UserCustomField (the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
GroupCustomField(the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
Note that you should allow for events without recipients to appear in responses.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with a notification scheme for it to be returned.
Returns a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg), including the list of events and the recipients who will receive notifications for those events.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with the notification scheme.
Sets a property value on multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by a filter.
The filter identifies issues eligible for update using these criteria:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
hasProperty:
If true, only issues with the property are eligible.
If false, only issues without the property are eligible.
If more than one criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy all criteria are eligible.
If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.
Returns the application properties that are accessible on the *Advanced Settings* page. To navigate to the *Advanced Settings* page in Jira, choose the Jira icon > **Jira settings** > **System**, **General Configuration** and then click **Advanced Settings** (in the upper right).

Returns the [global settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/qYXKM) in Jira. These settings determine whether optional features (for example, subtasks, time tracking, and others) are enabled. If time tracking is enabled, this operation also returns the time tracking configuration.
Returns reference data for JQL searches. This is a downloadable version of the documentation provided in [Advanced searching - fields reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/gwORLQ) and [Advanced searching - functions reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/hgORLQ), along with a list of JQL-reserved words. Use this information to assist with the programmatic creation of JQL queries or the validation of queries built in a custom query builder.
Converts one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQL queries with account IDs.
You may wish to use this operation if your system stores JQL queries and you want to make them GDPR-compliant. For more information about GDPR-related changes, see the migration guide.
Creates a preference for the user or updates a preference's value by sending a plain text string. For example, `false`. An arbitrary preference can be created with the value containing up to 255 characters. In addition, the following keys define system preferences that can be set or created:
user.notifications.mimetype The mime type used in notifications sent to the user. Defaults to html.
user.notify.own.changes Indicates whether the user gets notified of their own changes. Defaults to false.
jira.user.locale The locale of the user. By default, not set: the user takes the instance locale. See also, Set locale.
jira.user.timezone The time zone of the user. By default, not set, the user takes the instance time zone.
user.default.share.private Indicates whether new filters are set to private. Defaults to true.
user.keyboard.shortcuts.disabled Indicates whether keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Defaults to false.
user.autowatch.disabled Indicates whether the user automatically watches issues they create or add a comment to. By default, not set: the user takes the instance autowatch setting.
If the user has no language preference set (which is the default setting) or this resource is accessed anonymous, the browser locale detected by Jira is returned. Jira detects the browser locale using the Accept-Language header in the request. However, if this doesn't match a locale available Jira, the site default locale is returned.
Returns a list of permissions indicating which permissions the user has. Details of the user's permissions can be obtained in a global, project, or issue context.
The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter. However, if they are not the user who reported the issue queried they would not have EDIT_ISSUE permission for that issue.
for a list of global permissions, the global permissions granted to the user.
for a list of project permissions and lists of projects and issues, for each project permission a list of the projects and issues the user can access or manipulate.
Note that:
Invalid project and issue IDs are ignored.
A maximum of 1000 projects and 1000 issues can be checked.
A permission scheme is a collection of permission grants. A permission grant consists of a holder and a permission.
Holder
The holder object contains information about the user or group being granted the permission. For example, the Administer projects permission is granted to a group named Teams in space administrators. In this case, the type is "type": "group", and the parameter is the group name, "parameter": "Teams in space administrators". The holder object is defined by the following properties:
type Identifies the user or group (see the list of types below).
parameter The value of this property depends on the type. For example, if the type is a group, then you need to specify the group name.
The following types are available. The expected values for the parameter are given in parenthesis (some types may not have a parameter):
anyone Grant for anonymous users.
applicationRole Grant for users with access to the specified application (application name). See Manage application access for more information.
assignee Grant for the user currently assigned to an issue.
group Grant for the specified group (group name).
groupCustomField Grant for a user in the group selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
projectLead Grant for a project lead.
projectRole Grant for the specified project role (project role ID).
reporter Grant for the user who reported the issue.
sd.customer.portal.only Jira Service Desk only. Grants customers permission to access the customer portal but not Jira. See Customizing Jira Service Desk permissions for more information.
user Grant for the specified user (user ID - historically this was the userkey but that is deprecated and the account ID should be used).
userCustomField Grant for a user selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
Gets a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) associated with the project. See the [Get notification scheme](#api-api-2-notificationscheme-id-get) resource for more information about notification schemes.
Returns all projects visible to the user. Deprecated, use [ Get projects paginated](#api-api-2-project-search-get) that supports search and pagination.
Permissions required: None, however, projects are returned only where:

If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.
Returns the application properties that are accessible on the *Advanced Settings* page. To navigate to the *Advanced Settings* page in Jira, choose the Jira icon > **Jira settings** > **System**, **General Configuration** and then click **Advanced Settings** (in the upper right).

The number of days before a prompt to sign up to the Jira Insiders newsletter is shown. A value of -1 disables this functionality.
Returns the [global settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/qYXKM) in Jira. These settings determine whether optional features (for example, subtasks, time tracking, and others) are enabled. If time tracking is enabled, this operation also returns the time tracking configuration.
Returns reference data for JQL searches. This is a downloadable version of the documentation provided in [Advanced searching - fields reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/gwORLQ) and [Advanced searching - functions reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/hgORLQ), along with a list of JQL-reserved words. Use this information to assist with the programmatic creation of JQL queries or the validation of queries built in a custom query builder.
Converts one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQL queries with account IDs.
You may wish to use this operation if your system stores JQL queries and you want to make them GDPR-compliant. For more information about GDPR-related changes, see the migration guide.
Creates a preference for the user or updates a preference's value by sending a plain text string. For example, `false`. An arbitrary preference can be created with the value containing up to 255 characters. In addition, the following keys define system preferences that can be set or created:
user.notifications.mimetype The mime type used in notifications sent to the user. Defaults to html.
user.notify.own.changes Indicates whether the user gets notified of their own changes. Defaults to false.
jira.user.locale The locale of the user. By default, not set: the user takes the instance locale. See also, Set locale.
jira.user.timezone The time zone of the user. By default, not set, the user takes the instance time zone.
user.default.share.private Indicates whether new filters are set to private. Defaults to true.
user.keyboard.shortcuts.disabled Indicates whether keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Defaults to false.
user.autowatch.disabled Indicates whether the user automatically watches issues they create or add a comment to. By default, not set: the user takes the instance autowatch setting.
If the user has no language preference set (which is the default setting) or this resource is accessed anonymous, the browser locale detected by Jira is returned. Jira detects the browser locale using the Accept-Language header in the request. However, if this doesn't match a locale available Jira, the site default locale is returned.
Returns a list of permissions indicating which permissions the user has. Details of the user's permissions can be obtained in a global, project, or issue context.
The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter. However, if they are not the user who reported the issue queried they would not have EDIT_ISSUE permission for that issue.
for a list of global permissions, the global permissions granted to the user.
for a list of project permissions and lists of projects and issues, for each project permission a list of the projects and issues the user can access or manipulate.
Note that:
Invalid project and issue IDs are ignored.
A maximum of 1000 projects and 1000 issues can be checked.
A permission scheme is a collection of permission grants. A permission grant consists of a holder and a permission.
Holder
The holder object contains information about the user or group being granted the permission. For example, the Administer projects permission is granted to a group named Teams in space administrators. In this case, the type is "type": "group", and the parameter is the group name, "parameter": "Teams in space administrators". The holder object is defined by the following properties:
type Identifies the user or group (see the list of types below).
parameter The value of this property depends on the type. For example, if the type is a group, then you need to specify the group name.
The following types are available. The expected values for the parameter are given in parenthesis (some types may not have a parameter):
anyone Grant for anonymous users.
applicationRole Grant for users with access to the specified application (application name). See Manage application access for more information.
assignee Grant for the user currently assigned to an issue.
group Grant for the specified group (group name).
groupCustomField Grant for a user in the group selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
projectLead Grant for a project lead.
projectRole Grant for the specified project role (project role ID).
reporter Grant for the user who reported the issue.
sd.customer.portal.only Jira Service Desk only. Grants customers permission to access the customer portal but not Jira. See Customizing Jira Service Desk permissions for more information.
user Grant for the specified user (user ID - historically this was the userkey but that is deprecated and the account ID should be used).
userCustomField Grant for a user selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).

Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of [notification schemes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) in order by display name.
About notification schemes
A notification scheme is a list of events and recipients who will receive notifications for those events. The list is contained within the notificationSchemeEvents object and contains pairs of events and notifications:
notifications Identifies the recipients of notifications for each event. Recipients can be any of the following types:
CurrentAssignee
Reporter
CurrentUser
ProjectLead
ComponentLead
User (the parameter is the user key)
Group (the parameter is the group name)
ProjectRole (the parameter is the project role ID)
EmailAddress
AllWatchers
UserCustomField (the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
GroupCustomField(the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
Note that you should allow for events without recipients to appear in responses.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with a notification scheme for it to be returned.
Returns a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg), including the list of events and the recipients who will receive notifications for those events.

Sets a property value on multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by a filter.
The filter identifies issues eligible for update using these criteria:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
hasProperty:
If true, only issues with the property are eligible.
If false, only issues without the property are eligible.
If more than one criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy all criteria are eligible.
If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.

Returns the [global settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/qYXKM) in Jira. These settings determine whether optional features (for example, subtasks, time tracking, and others) are enabled. If time tracking is enabled, this operation also returns the time tracking configuration.
Returns reference data for JQL searches. This is a downloadable version of the documentation provided in [Advanced searching - fields reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/gwORLQ) and [Advanced searching - functions reference](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/hgORLQ), along with a list of JQL-reserved words. Use this information to assist with the programmatic creation of JQL queries or the validation of queries built in a custom query builder.
Converts one or more JQL queries with user identifiers (username or user key) to equivalent JQL queries with account IDs.
You may wish to use this operation if your system stores JQL queries and you want to make them GDPR-compliant. For more information about GDPR-related changes, see the migration guide.
Creates a preference for the user or updates a preference's value by sending a plain text string. For example, `false`. An arbitrary preference can be created with the value containing up to 255 characters. In addition, the following keys define system preferences that can be set or created:
user.notifications.mimetype The mime type used in notifications sent to the user. Defaults to html.
user.notify.own.changes Indicates whether the user gets notified of their own changes. Defaults to false.
jira.user.locale The locale of the user. By default, not set: the user takes the instance locale. See also, Set locale.
jira.user.timezone The time zone of the user. By default, not set, the user takes the instance time zone.
user.default.share.private Indicates whether new filters are set to private. Defaults to true.
user.keyboard.shortcuts.disabled Indicates whether keyboard shortcuts are disabled. Defaults to false.
user.autowatch.disabled Indicates whether the user automatically watches issues they create or add a comment to. By default, not set: the user takes the instance autowatch setting.
If the user has no language preference set (which is the default setting) or this resource is accessed anonymous, the browser locale detected by Jira is returned. Jira detects the browser locale using the Accept-Language header in the request. However, if this doesn't match a locale available Jira, the site default locale is returned.
Returns a list of permissions indicating which permissions the user has. Details of the user's permissions can be obtained in a global, project, or issue context.
The user is reported as having a project permission:
in the global context, if the user has the project permission in any project.
for a project, where the project permission is determined using issue data, if the user meets the permission's criteria for any issue in the project. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project.
for an issue, where a project permission is determined using issue data, if the user has the permission in the issue. Otherwise, if the user has the project permission in the project containing the issue.
This means that users may be shown as having an issue permission (such as EDIT_ISSUE) in the global context or a project context but may not have the permission for any or all issues. For example, if Reporters have the EDIT_ISSUE permission a user would be shown as having this permission in the global context or the context of a project, because any user can be a reporter. However, if they are not the user who reported the issue queried they would not have EDIT_ISSUE permission for that issue.
for a list of global permissions, the global permissions granted to the user.
for a list of project permissions and lists of projects and issues, for each project permission a list of the projects and issues the user can access or manipulate.
Note that:
Invalid project and issue IDs are ignored.
A maximum of 1000 projects and 1000 issues can be checked.
A permission scheme is a collection of permission grants. A permission grant consists of a holder and a permission.
Holder
The holder object contains information about the user or group being granted the permission. For example, the Administer projects permission is granted to a group named Teams in space administrators. In this case, the type is "type": "group", and the parameter is the group name, "parameter": "Teams in space administrators". The holder object is defined by the following properties:
type Identifies the user or group (see the list of types below).
parameter The value of this property depends on the type. For example, if the type is a group, then you need to specify the group name.
The following types are available. The expected values for the parameter are given in parenthesis (some types may not have a parameter):
anyone Grant for anonymous users.
applicationRole Grant for users with access to the specified application (application name). See Manage application access for more information.
assignee Grant for the user currently assigned to an issue.
group Grant for the specified group (group name).
groupCustomField Grant for a user in the group selected in the specified custom field (custom field ID).
projectLead Grant for a project lead.
projectRole Grant for the specified project role (project role ID).

Be aware that this operation uses different objects for updating share permissions compared to Update filter.
Returns a share permission for a filter. A filter can be shared with groups, projects, all logged-in users, or the public. Sharing with all logged-in users or the public is known as a global share permission.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however, only the following are returned:
filters owned by the user.
filters shared with a group that the user is a member of.
filters shared with a private project that the user has Browse projectsproject permission for.
The columns parameter accepts a navigable field value and is expressed as HTML form data. To specify multiple columns, pass multiple columns parameters. For example, in curl:
curl -X PUT -d columns=summary -d columns=description https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/settings/columns
If no column details are sent, then all default columns are removed.
A navigable field is one that can be used as a column on the issue navigator. Find details of navigable issue columns using Get fields.
Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of [notification schemes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg) in order by display name.
About notification schemes
A notification scheme is a list of events and recipients who will receive notifications for those events. The list is contained within the notificationSchemeEvents object and contains pairs of events and notifications:
notifications Identifies the recipients of notifications for each event. Recipients can be any of the following types:
CurrentAssignee
Reporter
CurrentUser
ProjectLead
ComponentLead
User (the parameter is the user key)
Group (the parameter is the group name)
ProjectRole (the parameter is the project role ID)
EmailAddress
AllWatchers
UserCustomField (the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
GroupCustomField(the parameter is the ID of the custom field)
Note that you should allow for events without recipients to appear in responses.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with a notification scheme for it to be returned.
Returns a [notification scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YdKLg), including the list of events and the recipients who will receive notifications for those events.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira, however the user must have permission to administer at least one project associated with the notification scheme.
Sets a property value on multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by a filter.
The filter identifies issues eligible for update using these criteria:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
hasProperty:
If true, only issues with the property are eligible.
If false, only issues without the property are eligible.
If more than one criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy all criteria are eligible.
If an invalid combination of criteria is provided, an error is returned. For example, specifying a currentValue and hasProperty as false would not match any issues (because without the property the property cannot have a value).
The filter is optional. Without the filter all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either all eligible issues are updated or, when errors occur, none are updated.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Deletes a property value from multiple issues. The issues to be updated can be specified by filter criteria.
The criteria the filter used to identify eligible issues are:
entityIds Only issues from this list are eligible.
currentValue Only issues with the property set to this value are eligible.
If both criteria is specified, they are joined with the logical AND: only issues that satisfy both criteria are considered eligible.
If no filter criteria are specified, all the issues visible to the user and where the user has the EDIT_ISSUES permission for the issue are considered eligible.
This operation is:
transactional, either the property is deleted from all eligible issues or, when errors occur, no properties are deleted.
asynchronous. Follow the location link in the response to determine the status of the task and use Get task to obtain subsequent updates.
Returns lists of issues matching a query string. Use this resource to provide auto-completion suggestions when the user is looking for an issue using a word or string.
This operation returns two lists:
History Search which includes issues from the user's history of created, edited, or viewed issues that contain the string in the query parameter.
Current Search which includes issues that match the JQL expression in currentJQL and contain the string in the query parameter.
Evaluates a Jira expression and returns its value.
This resource can be used to test Jira expressions that you plan to use elsewhere, or to fetch data in a flexible way. Consult the Jira expressions documentation for more details.
Context variables
The following context variables are available to Jira expressions evaluated by this resource. Their presence depends on various factors; usually you need to manually request them in the context object sent in the payload, but some of them are added automatically under certain conditions.
user (User): The current user. Always available and equal to null if the request is anonymous.
app (App): The Connect app that made the request. Available only for authenticated requests made by Connect Apps (read more here: Authentication for Connect apps).
issue (Issue): The current issue. Available only when the issue is provided in the request context object.
project (Project): The current project. Available only when the project is provided in the request context object.
sprint (Sprint): The current sprint. Available only when the sprint is provided in the request context object.
board (Board): The current board. Available only when the board is provided in the request context object.
Permissions required: Permission to access Jira. However, an expression may return different results for different users depending on their permissions. For example, different users may see different comments on the same issue. Permission to access Jira Software is required to access Jira Software context variables (board and sprint) or fields (for example, issue.sprint).
Returns all application properties or an application property.
If you specify a value for the key parameter, then an application property is returned as an object (not in an array). Otherwise, an array of all editable application properties is returned. See Set application property for descriptions of editable properties.
Returns the application properties that are accessible on the *Advanced Settings* page. To navigate to the *Advanced Settings* page in Jira, choose the Jira icon > **Jira settings** > **System**, **General Configuration** and then click **Advanced Settings** (in the upper right).
Changes the value of an application property. For example, you can change the value of the `jira.clone.prefix` from its default value of *CLONE -* to *Clone -* if you prefer sentence case capitalization. Editable properties are described below along with their default values.
Advanced settings

This document will go through the steps for authenticating the Atlassian Jira adapter with Basic Authentication. Properly configuring the properties for an adapter in IAP is critical for getting the adapter online. You can read more about adapter authentication HERE.
Basic Authentication
The Atlassian Jira adapter requires Basic Authentication. If you change authentication methods, you should change this section accordingly and merge it back into the adapter repository.
STEPS
Ensure you have access to a Atlassian Jira server and that it is running
Follow the steps in the README.md to import the adapter into IAP if you have not already done so
Use the properties below for the properties.authentication field
Restart the adapter. If your properties were set correctly, the adapter should go online.
Troubleshooting
Make sure you copied over the correct username and password.
Turn on debug level logs for the adapter in IAP Admin Essentials.
Turn on auth_logging for the adapter in IAP Admin Essentials (adapter properties).
Investigate the logs - in particular:
The FULL REQUEST log to make sure the proper headers are being sent with the request.
The FULL BODY log to make sure the payload is accurate.
The CALL RETURN log to see what the other system is telling us.
Credentials should be masked by the adapter so make sure you verify the username and password - including that there are erroneous spaces at the front or end.
Remember when you are done to turn auth_logging off as you do not want to log credentials.
Additional Information
Enhancements
Adding a Second Instance of an Adapter
You can add a second instance of this adapter without adding new code on the file system. To do this go into the IAP Admin Essentials and add a new service config for this adapter. The two instances of the adapter should have unique ids. In addition, they should point to different instances (unique host and port) of the other system.
Adding Adapter Calls
There are multiple ways to add calls to an existing adapter.
The easiest way would be to use the Adapter Builder update process. This process takes in a Swagger or OpenAPI document, allows you to select the calls you want to add and then generates a zip file that can be used to update the adapter. Once you have the zip file simply put it in the adapter directory and execute npm run adapter:update.
mv updatePackage.zip adapter-jira
cd adapter-jira
npm run adapter:update
If you do not have a Swagger or OpenAPI document, you can use a Postman Collection and convert that to an OpenAPI document using APIMatic and then follow the first process.
If you want to manually update the adapter that can also be done the key thing is to make sure you update all of the right files. Within the entities directory you will find 1 or more entities. You can create a new entity or add to an existing entity. Each entity has an action.json file, any new call will need to be put in the action.json file. It will also need to be added to the enum for the ph_request_type in the appropriate schema files. Once this configuration is complete you will need to add the call to the adapter.js file and, in order to make it available as a workflow task in IAP, it should also be added to the pronghorn.json file. You can optionally add it to the unit and integration test files. There is more information on how to work on each of these files in the Adapter Technical Resources on our Documentation Site.
Files to update
* entities/<entity>/action.json: add an action
* entities/<entity>/schema.json (or the schema defined on the action): add action to the enum for ph_request_type
* adapter.js: add the new method and make sure it calls the proper entity and action
* pronghorn.json: add the new method
* test/unit/adapterTestUnit.js (optional but best practice): add unit test(s) - function is there, any required parameters error when not passed in
* test/integration/adapterTestIntegration.js (optional but best practice): add integration test
Adding Adapter Properties
While changing adapter properties is done in the service instance configuration section of IAP, adding properties has to be done in the adapter. To add a property you should edit the propertiesSchema.json with the proper information for the property. In addition, you should modify the sampleProperties to have the new property in it.
Files to update
* propertiesSchema.json: add the new property and how it is defined
* sampleProperties: add the new property with a default value
* test/unit/adapterTestUnit.js (optional but best practice): add the property to the global properties
* test/integration/adapterTestIntegration.js (optional but best practice): add the property to the global properties
Changing Adapter Authentication
Often an adapter is built before knowing the authentication and authentication processes can also change over time. The adapter supports many different kinds of authentication but it does require configuration. Some forms of authentication can be defined entirely with the adapter properties but others require configuration.
Files to update
* entities/.system/action.json: change the getToken action as needed
* entities/.system/schemaTokenReq.json: add input parameters (external name is name in other system)
* entities/.system/schemaTokenResp.json: add response parameters (external name is name in other system)
* propertiesSchema.json: add any new property and how it is defined
* sampleProperties: add any new property with a default value
* test/unit/adapterTestUnit.js (optional but best practice): add the property to the global properties
* test/integration/adapterTestIntegration.js (optional but best practice): add the property to the global properties
Enhancing Adapter Integration Tests
The adapter integration tests are written to be able to test in either stub (standalone) mode or integrated to the other system. However, if integrating to the other system, you may need to provide better data than what the adapter provides by default as that data is likely to fail for create and update. To provide better data, edit the adapter integration test file. Make sure you do not remove the marker and keep custom code below the marker so you do not impact future migrations. Once the edits are complete, run the integration test as it instructs you to above. When you run integrated to the other system, you can also save mockdata for future use by changing the isSaveMockData flag to true.
Files to update
* test/integration/adapterTestIntegration.js: add better data for the create and update calls so that they will not fail.
As mentioned previously, for most of these changes as well as other possible changes, there is more information on how to work on an adapter in the Adapter Technical Resources on our Documentation Site.
Contributing
First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute!
The following is a set of rules for contributing.
Code of Conduct
This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to support@itential.com.
There are several node scripts that now accompany the adapter. These scripts are provided to make several activities easier. Many of these scripts can have issues with different versions of IAP as they have dependencies on IAP and Mongo. If you have issues with the scripts please report them to the Itential Adapter Team. Each of these scripts are described below.
Run
Description
npm run adapter:install
Provides an easier way to install the adapter.
npm run adapter:checkMigrate
Checks whether your adapter can and should be migrated to the latest foundation.
npm run adapter:findPath
Can be used to see if the adapter supports a particular API call.
npm run adapter:migrate
Provides an easier way to update your adapter after you download the migration zip from Itential DevSite.
npm run adapter:update
Provides an easier way to update your adapter after you download the update zip from Itential DevSite.
npm run adapter:revert
Allows you to revert after a migration or update if it resulted in issues.
npm run troubleshoot
Provides a way to troubleshoot the adapter - runs connectivity, healthcheck and basic get.
npm run connectivity
Provides a connectivity check to the Servicenow system.
npm run healthcheck
Checks whether the configured healthcheck call works to Servicenow.
npm run basicget
Checks whether the basic get calls works to Servicenow.
Troubleshoot
Run npm run troubleshoot to start the interactive troubleshooting process. The command allows you to verify and update connection, authentication as well as healthcheck configuration. After that it will test these properties by sending HTTP request to the endpoint. If the tests pass, it will persist these changes into IAP.
You also have the option to run individual commands to perform specific test:
npm run healthcheck will perform a healthcheck request of with current setting.
npm run basicget will perform some non-parameter GET request with current setting.
npm run connectivity will perform networking diagnostics of the adatper endpoint.
Connectivity Issues
You can run the adapter troubleshooting script which will check connectivity, run the healthcheck and run basic get calls.
npm run troubleshoot
Verify the adapter properties are set up correctly.
Go into the Itential Platform GUI and verify/update the properties
Verify there is connectivity between the Itential Platform Server and Jira Server.
ping the ip address of Jira server
try telnet to the ip address port of Jira
execute a curl command to the other system
Verify the credentials provided for Jira.
login to Jira using the provided credentials
Verify the API of the call utilized for Jira Healthcheck.
Go into the Itential Platform GUI and verify/update the properties
Functional Issues
Adapter logs are located in /var/log/pronghorn. In older releases of the Itential Platform, there is a pronghorn.log file which contains logs for all of the Itential Platform. In newer versions, adapters can be configured to log into their own files.
