Scopes

A Merge Agent for Jira installation requires the following scopes:

• Read is required to get information about the original issues, e.g. project configuration. Merge Agent uses that information to prepare the merge dialog and prevent errors.

• Write enables Merge Agent to add information from one ticket to another.

• Admin is required to get information about workflows. It also enables Merge Agent to edit tickets that cannot be edited by a normal Jira user (e.g. closed tickets).

• Act as user is required to merge comments, making them appear as if they were added by their original author.
