What are credentials used for?
The user is used to send the queue messages between Jira and Confluence. When you modify requirements, we update their text in Jira; When you modify issue titles, we update the link title in Confluence.
What permissions are needed?
The user doesn't have to be an administrator,
It needs to be the same user on both sides. Usernames can be different if you use OAuth, but when you authorize the other side, the associated account must be the same as saved in the properties.
It needs to have VIEW permissions on the spaces with requirements in Confluence,
It needs to have EDIT permissions on the issues with links, in Jira.
If I don't like providing credentials, how should I do?
It is not like we ask for a password. We just ask for a username. If we had been evil, we could have used any administrative user from the database to synchronize the queue, and you wouldn't have seen it. We ask for a username is because we are not malevolent.
It doesn't pose any extended security risk, since the only data we modify are Requirement Yogi tables.
It solves a lot of issues. Before using a queue, we used to send the information to Jira synchronously. Unfortunately, there were situations where we couldn't ask for OAuth approval (when saving a page) and this resulted in the message not being sent to Jira, and issues being different than the data in Confluence. Since implementing the queue, we've had zero support cases about synchronization. The queue is solving the authentication very effectively, with the drawback that we need a user to ensure the authentication is satisfying.
This was introduced in version 2.2, so head to our release notes if you have more questions.
After adding your credentials, make sure you have "Entity links" between the Jira project and the Confluence space.
Configure an Applink between a project and a space
It's not enough to connect JIRA and Confluence, you must specify If you want your users to be comfortable, you need to tell which Confluence space matches your JIRA project.Jira project. This is a native feature of Jira and Confluence, it helps us display the correct default requirements in the various dialogs. If spaces and projects are not linked together, it doesn’t have further consequences than proper suggestions to users.
