# Jira OAuth Scopes

Jataka integrates with Atlassian Jira through standard OAuth 2.0 to connect test execution with project workflows.

This integration follows least-privilege principles and requests only the scopes needed for ticket lookup, automated issue creation, and workflow updates.

## Scope Breakdown

* **`read:jira-work`**
  * **Plain English:** Read projects, issue details, search results, and attachments.
  * **Why needed:** Enables context-aware linking of failed tests to existing work items and prevents duplicate issue creation.

* **`write:jira-work`**
  * **Plain English:** Create and update issues, and post comments.
  * **Why needed:** Powers automated bug creation and lifecycle updates tied to subsequent test outcomes.

* **`read:jira-user`**
  * **Plain English:** View basic user profile information already visible to the authorizing user.
  * **Why needed:** Supports assignment and targeted mentions in automation workflows.
