# Jira Server credentials **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
To [integrate Jira with GitLab](index.md), you must
|
|
create a Jira user account for your Jira projects to access projects in GitLab.
|
|
This Jira user account must have write access to your Jira projects. To create the
|
|
credentials, you must:
|
|
|
|
1. [Create a Jira Server user](#create-a-jira-server-user).
|
|
1. [Create a Jira Server group](#create-a-jira-server-group) for the user to belong to.
|
|
1. [Create a permission scheme for your group](#create-a-permission-scheme-for-your-group).
|
|
|
|
## Create a Jira Server user
|
|
|
|
This process creates a user named `gitlab` and adds it to a new group named `gitlab-developers`:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to your Jira instance as an administrator.
|
|
1. In the upper right corner of the top menu, go to the gear icon and
|
|
select **User Management**.
|
|
1. Create a new user account (`gitlab`) with write access to
|
|
projects in Jira.
|
|
- **Email address**: Jira requires a valid email address, and sends a verification
|
|
email, which you need to set up the password.
|
|
- **Username**: Jira creates the username by using the email prefix. You can change
|
|
this username later.
|
|
- **Password**: You must create a password, because the GitLab integration doesn't
|
|
support SSO, such as SAML. To create the password, visit the user profile, look up
|
|
the username, and set a password.
|
|
1. Select **Create user**.
|
|
|
|
After you create the user, create a group for it.
|
|
|
|
## Create a Jira Server group
|
|
|
|
After you [create a Jira Server user](#create-a-jira-server-user), you can create a
|
|
group to assign permissions to the user:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to your Jira instance as an administrator.
|
|
1. In the upper right corner of the top menu, go to the gear icon and
|
|
select **User Management**.
|
|
1. From the sidebar, select **Groups**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. In the **Add group** section, enter a **Name** for the group (for example,
|
|
`gitlab-developers`), and then select **Add group**.
|
|
1. To add the `gitlab` user to the `gitlab-developers` group, select **Edit members**.
|
|
The `gitlab-developers` group should be listed in the leftmost box as a
|
|
selected group.
|
|
1. In the **Add members to selected group(s)** area, enter `gitlab`.
|
|
1. Select **Add selected users**.
|
|
Jira saves your selection, and `gitlab` should appear in the **Group member(s)**
|
|
area.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, create a permission scheme for your group.
|
|
|
|
## Create a permission scheme for your group
|
|
|
|
After creating the group in Jira, grant permissions to the group by creating a permission scheme:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to your Jira instance as an administrator.
|
|
1. In the upper right corner of the top menu, go to the gear icon and
|
|
select **Issues**.
|
|
1. From the sidebar, select **Permission Schemes**.
|
|
1. Select **Add Permission Scheme**, enter a **Name** and (optionally) a
|
|
**Description**, and then select **Add**.
|
|
1. In the permissions scheme list, locate your new permissions scheme, and
|
|
select **Permissions**.
|
|
1. Next to **Administer Projects**, select **Edit**. In
|
|
the **Group** list, select `gitlab-developers`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Write down the new Jira username and its
|
|
password, as you need them when
|
|
[configuring GitLab](development_panel.md#configure-gitlab).
