Git Integration for Jira Self-Managed (Data Center/Server) Documentation

Your token has not been granted the required scopes

Problem

Encountered some new errors on the Github PAT integration having issues indexing pull requests. The errors were pinpointing to insufficient roles on the personal access token.

Error message:

Diagnosis

You are getting this error because of missing permission scopes.

Two new options are now available in General Settings. Enabling these options requires an “extended” scope for your PATs.

Solution

To utilize the new GitHub share PR events, we recommend that users must update their personal access token to have the following scopes:

read:discussion
read:org
read:user
repo (all)
user:email

Your token has not been granted the required scopes
