Jira Cloud Identity Application Access Requirements

In a Jira environment, Moveworks needs to know users’ contact information so that it can operate on their tickets and tickets related to them. To do this, Moveworks provides an Atlassian Connect app that you must connect to your Jira instance.

The Jira Identity App is used to ingest user information from Jira Cloud such as the user's Jira ID, email, and name.
