To configure Jira integration with a GitLab Project or Group, follow these steps:

1. Create an API token in your Jira Cloud account
2. Configure the integration in your GitLab Project or Group settings
   

Tips

• Follow instructions labeled for Jira Cloud
• Jira API URL can be left blank
• Web URL example: https://your-jira-space.atlassian.net

Sharing data between accounts

Before setting up the integration, consider whether there are any situations where data sharing would be a problem. Setting up this integration gives your Jira Cloud account access to some data from your GitLab Project(s) and vice versa.  For example, a user who is a Member of your GitLab Project could see information from your Jira Cloud account, even if they don't have access to that account.  

Sensitive/Restricted data

You should not put Sensitive or Restricted Data in GitLab (see DoIT Shared Tools - GitLab - Projects).  Likewise, do not set up this integration if your Jira account has Sensitive or Restricted data.
