# Jira

This integration allows a user to open a [Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) ticket from a Meterian report, with data entered semi-automatically. 

**Account level configuration**

In order to use the integration, you will need to enter a set of credentials in the Meterian configuration page. If you are using a legacy or hosted Jira system, these will need to be the credentials of a user. If you are using cloud hosted version, you will need to enter an email of a user and its associated [api token](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens).

The integration supports Jira version 6 and later versions, or Jira Cloud. Please note that "Browse Projects" and "Create Issues" [permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/configuring-permissions-861253288.html) are required in Jira for the selected user. <br>

**Project level configuration**

Each Meterian project can be associated to a different Jira project in the dashboard. The specific type of issue to use can also be selected, along with all the relevant fields required (including custom fields).

**Opening a Jira issue**

Jira issues can then be opened from the report, from the "Action" tab of any vulnerability:

Where possible, fields are automatically pre-populated. By pressing "Save" the issue is generated on Jira on the target project:

The ID of the Jira ticket is now reported in the vulnerability, which is a clickable link that navigate directly to the page on Jira.
