Permissions

You must be a Sysadmin on Smartsheet and Jira to configure the connector. You must be a licensed Smartsheet user to create or edit a workflow. You'll also need a Jira account with access to your Jira project.

Three types of users can interact with the Smartsheet for Jira Connector:

  • Smartsheet System Admin—Can manage Jira Connector Admins and Jira Connector Users from the Smartsheet application. System Admins can also enable a setting to restrict access to the Connector. 
  • Jira Connector Admin—A unique user type to the Connector. Can designate Jira Connector Users and add people to the restricted access list (after a System Admin enables this setting).
  • Jira Connector User—A unique user type to the Connector. Can create workflows to sync information between Smartsheet and Jira. (This is only available after the restrict user list setting is enabled in the Connector.)
