Permissions

The permissions section of the manifest.yml file controls your app's access to remote resources.

OAuth 2 scopes

The scopes list declares which OAuth 2 scopes are required by your app when using the authenticated Product Fetch APIs, and Product events.

Example

Define each scope on a new line. Your app should use the minimum set of scopes required.

1
2
3
4

permissions:
  scopes:
    - 'read:confluence-content.summary'
    - 'write:jira-work'

If your app requires no OAuth 2 permissions, you must provide an empty scopes list as in the example below.

1
2

permissions:
  scopes: []

Note, Forge apps deployed in the development environment always receive all available OAuth 2 scopes.

Forge scopes

Certain platform features, such as the App storage API, are also authenticated using OAuth 2.

Product scopes

In addition to the reference tables below, you can find the required scopes in each product's REST API documentation and event documentation on a per-operation basis in the OAuth scopes required field. Note, not all operations support OAuth 2 authentication.

Confluence Cloud

The Confluence Cloud REST API and Confluence event scopes.

Jira Cloud platform

The Jira Cloud REST API and Jira event scopes.

Valid URL and domain formats

URLs and domains must be in one of the following formats:

• An https or wss URL, such as https://www.example-dev.com
• A valid domain name, such as www.example-dev.com
• A valid wildcard domain starting with *, such as *.example-dev.com

They must also not contain any invalid special characters. You can check the domain or URL against the following regex pattern:
