Fostr’s Jira integration connects internal backlog and project tracking workflows directly into your AI operating system. This page outlines key access controls, credential requirements, and data visibility considerations to ensure your team understands how Jira data is accessed, who can see what, and how to maintain secure, role-based context in automated workflows.

Credentials and Access

To activate the Jira integration, Fostr requires internal credentials provisioned through Jira’s API platform. These credentials typically include:

• An API token linked to an Atlassian user account
• The account’s email address
• The Jira site domain, which defines the appropriate API base URL

The integration is configured at the tenant level, meaning a single set of credentials provides consistent access to project and issue data across the organization’s Jira instance.

All credentials are encrypted and securely stored within the Integration record in Fostr. Access is limited to Administrators and approved internal stakeholders, with strict environment-level protections ensuring credentials are write‑protected.

No custom OAuth scopes are currently required beyond the default Atlassian permissions needed for issue, board, and project access. However, the Atlassian account associated with the token must have sufficient rights to view and manage issues within the targeted Jira projects.

A test instance is available to validate connectivity, confirm credential accuracy, and simulate data ingestion workflows before deploying the integration into a production environment.

Permissions and Visibility

Once enabled, the Jira integration makes project and issue data available within Fostr workflows. Typical use cases include:

• Retrieving and surfacing Jira issue details within operational workflows
• Linking Jira tickets to Fostr Actions for context-aware execution
• Tracking progress and deadlines tied to key initiatives

Access within Fostr is governed by a combination of Jira’s native permissions and Fostr’s internal role model:

• Only authorized internal users (e.g., Admins, Implementers, and select Operators) can view ingested Jira data.
• Jira issue data is made visible only when it is relevant to a user’s assigned actions or workflows inside Fostr.
• Jira’s permissions are fully respected. Only projects and issues exposed by the Atlassian account/token will be available, with no override at the integration level.

Visibility is not configurable at the Jira integration layer. Instead:

• Fostr role permissions determine which users can see Jira-linked Recordsets or Actions.
• Any cross-system references remain anchored to Fostr’s internal role‑based visibility model.

The Jira integration requires minimal ongoing maintenance. However:

• If an API token expires, or if the Atlassian account’s permissions change, Fostr will lose access to Jira data.
• In such cases, administrators must generate and update credentials in the Integration record to resume connectivity and ensure workflow continuity.
