​
Overview

The Jira integration monitors your project management platform: projects, users, permission schemes, security issues, and audit logs. LowerPlane collects compliance evidence automatically and only ever reads data from Jira — it never creates or modifies projects, issues, or configuration.

​
Prerequisites

You need Jira Organization Admin permissions to authorize the OAuth connection.

​
How to Connect

1

Find your Jira domain

Identify your Jira domain — this is the part before .atlassian.net in your URL (e.g., for acme.atlassian.net, enter acme).
2

Start the connection

Go to Settings > Integrations in LowerPlane, find Jira, and enter your Jira domain.
3

Authorize access

Click Connect to be redirected to Atlassian. On the consent screen, select your site (e.g. yourcompany.atlassian.net) and approve the following access:View (read:jira-work, read:jira-user)
  • Read Jira project and issue data, search for issues, and read objects associated with issues (attachments, worklogs).
  • View user information — usernames, email addresses, and avatars.
Manage (manage:jira-project, manage:jira-configuration)
  • Required by Atlassian to read permission schemes and audit logs. LowerPlane uses this scope for reading only and never creates or edits projects, fields, or configuration.
LowerPlane also requests offline_access so it can refresh the connection without re-authorizing.
