Certain administrative routines in Power Scripts Cloud, especially administrative ones like [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PSJC/pages/720637556](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PSJC/pages/720637556) , may require an API token for authentication. These routines are typically not accessible directly to standard cloud applications. This guide will help you create and use a Jira API token effectively.

## Creating a Jira API Token

To create your Jira API token, follow these steps:

1. **Visit the Atlassian Token Page**: Go to the [Atlassian API token page](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens).
2. **Generate the Token**:
  - Log in with your Atlassian account if prompted.
  - Click on the "Create API token" button.
  - Enter a label for your token (e.g., "Power Scripts").
  - Click "Create."
3. **Copy the Token**:
  - Once the token is generated, copy it immediately, as you won’t be able to see it again.

## Using the Jira API Token

After obtaining your Jira API token, you need to add it along with your email address on the Power Scripts Self-Help page. Here's how to do it:

1. **Access the Power Scripts Self Help Page**: Log in to your Jira instance as an administrator. Then, navigate to the Power Scripts Self Help page within your application.
  
2. **Enter Your Details**:
  - Input your email address.
  - Paste the copied API token into the appropriate field.
    
3. **Save the Information**: Make sure to save or apply the changes to enable the token.

Once the token is added successfully, a message is displayed on the same page as shown below:
