Continue by hitting Edit Scopes button to assign scopes for the application:
Select these scopes or all of them:
Then click Authorization option on the left and click Add button:
Enter your own Callback URL (Redirect URL) or simply enter https://zappysys.com/oauth, if you don't have one:
Then hit Settings option and copy Client ID and Secret into your favorite text editor (we will need them in the next step):
Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and in OAuth authentication set these parameters:
- For ClientId parameter use Client ID value from the previous steps.
- For ClientSecret parameter use Secret value from the previous steps.
- For Scope parameter use the Scopes you set previously (specify them all here):
  - offline_access (a must)
  - read:jira-user
  - read:jira-work
  - write:jira-work
  - manage:jira-project
  - manage:jira-configuration
  NOTE: A full list of available scopes is available in Atlassian documentation.
- For Subdomain parameter use your Atlassian subdomain value (e.g. mycompany, if full host name is mycompany.atlassian.net).
Click Generate Token to generate tokens.
Finally, select Organization Id from the drop down.
That's it! You can now use Jira Connector!
