# Jira Cloud

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

The Jira Cloud integration allows you to enrich Sola apps with project and issue tracking data for enhanced visibility and operational insights.

The Jira Cloud integration imports data on projects, issues, tasks, boards, sprints, users, groups, permissions, audit records, and more. This provides security teams with visibility into access configurations and administrative changes, alongside development activity that may affect security posture.

With the Jira Cloud integration, you can:

* Gain visibility into Jira projects, issues, and sprints to understand development activity that may impact security.
* Monitor Jira permission schemes, roles, and security levels to ensure proper access controls.
* Review Jira audit records to track administrative changes and support compliance monitoring.
* Analyze Jira boards and sprints to identify bottlenecks that could delay security-related work.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Your data can only be retrieved, never modified.**

Once connected, your data is securely stored, and access is restricted to retrieving configurations and metadata only. Authentication methods ensure secure delegation of permissions while maintaining data integrity.

### Connect Jira Cloud to Sola <a href="#connect-github-to-sola" id="connect-github-to-sola"></a>

To connect Jira Cloud, you need a Jira account with permissions according to the data you want to access, including security, projects, users and groups, and boards, ensuring secure and controlled data access.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Jira App" %}
This method leverages a Jira App to securely grant Sola read-only, permissioned access to your Jira resources. It minimizes risks associated with personal tokens and long-term credentials by enforcing strict, scoped access.

When prompted, sign in with your Jira administrator account and approve the requested access.
