Trouble with permissions using JWT for Jira Rest API

Hi,

I am developing an add-on for JIRA server (and Jira cloud).

I run my server locally using this command:

atlas-run-standalone --container tomcat7x --product jira --bundled-plugins com.atlassian.bundles:json-schema-validator-atlassian-bundle:1.0.4,com.atlassian.upm:atlassian-universal-plugin-manager-plugin:2.20.1-D20150924T170115,com.atlassian.jwt:jwt-plugin:1.5.4,com.atlassian.plugins:atlassian-connect-plugin:1.1.66 --jvmargs -Datlassian.upm.on.demand=true

- I have the "read" and "write" scopes (and I even tried with PROJECT_ADMIN scope). (see it queried with the JWT…)

- I create my JWT with the Ruby Gem "jwt" (through using https://github.com/MeisterLabs/atlassian-jwt-authentication).

- I have no trouble authenticating with JIRA and JWT and getting a list of projects or a single project.

What I want to do

- Save a property via PUT against a project (like this https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/cloud/#api/2/project/{projectIdOrKey}/properties-setProperty or this on server: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/project/{projectIdOrKey}/properties-setProperty)

Whenever I try to do this, I get the following error: "You cannot edit the configuration of this project."

What can I do, what am I missing?

Thank you.

Holger

Hi Holger,

I just wanted to quickly say that the development environment that you are using to run Atlassian Connect is no longer supported. Also, the version of Atlassian Connect that you are running is extremely old (1.1.66). Git tells me that we released that version on Tue Dec 8 12:25:32 2015. The version that is currently running in production is 1.1.107 and can be seen here: https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/release-notes/release-notes.html

What I strongly recommend you do is perform your development against a Cloud development environment by following the steps here: https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/guides/development-setup.html

If the problem still persists there then please let us know and we can look into it further.

Cheers,
Robert

Thanks for your feedback Robert.

The cloud development environment is so incredibly slow, that it is a pain to use for API requests. Is there a way to speed that up?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Robert.

I just tried the exact same steps with my cloud dev environment and I receive the same response:

"You cannot edit the configuration of this project."

Thank you for any help!

Best,

Holger

Hi Holger,

Are you PUTting to /rest/api/{version}/project/{project}/properties/{property} from JavaScript in the user's browser, or from your server?

If from your server, could you try the debugging step of making the add-on user an administrator of this project? I suspect that the problem may involve user permissions.
