**Power BI Connector - Permissions for Jira**

The Power BI Connector app requires the following Jira permissions.

- READ

  - To use the app, you need the minimum Jira Project “Browse” permission.

- ACT_AS_USER
  - Refresh the data in Power BI Desktop using [scheduled refreshes](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/APBCFJ/pages/65339444), even when the user is offline.
- ADMIN
  - Jira Administrator privileges are required to manage the Power BI Connector App Settings.

> 📝 - The Power BI Connector app **does not write or delete data **from Jira.
> 📝 - The Power BI Connector app **does not administer** Jira projects.

**Power BI Desktop**: The actions performed on data in Power BI Desktop do not impact the Jira data. 

- After importing the Jira data to Power BI Desktop, you have the flexibility to:
  - Modify the data in the Power BI Desktop
  - Delete the data in the Power BI Desktop.
- Power BI Desktop does not write the data back to Jira.
- During the subsequent data refresh, the connector fetches the fresh Jira data to Power BI Desktop.

## **Security and compliance statements**

Since the Power BI Connector application requires ADMIN permissions to manage App Settings, the marketplace template displays the following security and compliance statements by default. 

 However, **not all the permission statements are applicable** to the Power BI Connector app. 

 The Jira permission required is as mentioned in the [Power BI Connector - Permissions for Jira](#App_permissions) section of this page.
