Jira scopes for OAuth 2.0 (3LO) and Forge apps

Scopes enable an app to request a level of access to an Atlassian product.

Jira permissions also control access to data and aren't overridden by scopes. For example, if a user does not have the Browse projects permission then the Get project operation won't be able to access project data even if the app has the manage:jira-project and other required scopes.
The scopes may provide the potential to access beta or non-public APIs that are later changed or removed from the Atlassian product. The inclusion of the API endpoint in a scope doesn't imply that the product makes this endpoint public. Read the Jira REST API documentation for details.
Some scopes automatically imply that the app is granted other scopes.

Setting your app's scopes

When choosing your scopes, the recommendation is to use classic scopes.

Scopes limit

It's recommended that you use less than 50 scopes in an application. When adding scopes in the developer console, a count of the scopes added to your app is displayed. If you are approaching 50 scopes, review your use of scopes and ensure you're using classic scopes to the maximum extent possible and remove any unnecessary granular scopes.

Forge apps

The easiest way to set your app's scopes is to:

Update to the latest forge-cli packages.
Run forge lint --fix to add the scopes to the manifest.
Run forge install --upgrade to apply the manifest changes to your app.

This process does not remove any redundant scopes from the manifest file, and these scopes need to be removed manually.

If you want to set the scopes manually, you need to:

Review your app to determine all of the operations used.
Consult the Jira Cloud platform REST API documentation to determine the scope needed for each operation and create a list of scopes.
Add the scopes required to the app's manifest file while remembering to remove any deprecated scopes.

OAuth 2.0 apps

For OAuth 2.0 apps, you need to:

Review your app to determine all of the operations used.
Consult the Jira Cloud platform REST API documentation to determine the scope needed for each operation and create a list of scopes.
Update the scopes required in the developer console.

Scopes

These scopes are for apps using OAuth 2.0 authorization code grants (3LO) for authorization and Forge apps. The title and description are displayed to the user on the consent screen during the authorization flow.

Scopes for Atlassian Connect are different. See Scopes for Connect apps to know more.
