Connect Jira once for your organization, then choose where NoScope should create tickets. NoScope uses Atlassian's consent page, so your Jira password is never shared with or stored by NoScope.

## Before you start

* You need permission to manage integrations in NoScope.
* Your Atlassian account needs access to the Jira site and project you want to use.
* If your Atlassian account can access several sites, be ready to choose one during setup.

## Connect Jira

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Open the Integrations page in NoScope and find the Jira card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the connection">
    Click Connect. NoScope sends you to Atlassian to sign in and review the requested access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give consent">
    Choose the Jira site you want to connect, then approve access. Atlassian sends you back to the NoScope Integrations page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a site if asked">
    If you approved access to more than one Atlassian site, select the site NoScope should use. You can connect only one Jira site to an organization at a time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the configuration">
    The Configure Jira form opens after the connection is ready. Select a default project and issue type, then click Save.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What the settings control

<Steps>
  <Step title="Default project">
    This is the Jira project that receives new tickets. You can choose a different project when you create a ticket for one finding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Default issue type">
    This is the issue type used for new tickets, such as Bug or Task. The available issue types depend on the selected project.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can change these defaults later by returning to Integrations and clicking Configure on the Jira card.

## Connection states

* Connected means Jira is ready to use.
* Finish setup means you still need to choose a site or save the required defaults.
* Action needed means Jira access has expired or was removed. Click Reconnect and approve access again.
