How to add global permissions to groups via REST API in Jira Cloud

Hi Community,

We are working on a Jira Cloud auto-provisioning project where we want to automate the setup of groups and permissions. We haven’t found any supported REST endpoint to grant global permissions (like “Browse users and groups”, “Administer Jira”, etc.) to a group. In the Jira UI (System → Global Permissions), this can be done manually, but we’d like to automate it as part of our provisioning workflow.

My questions:

  1. Is there any official REST API to programmatically add or remove global permissions for a group in Jira Cloud?

  2. If not, are there any recommended workarounds for automating this as part of a provisioning pipeline?

Any guidance or experience from others who tried automating global permission assignments would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @ChelluriDurgaVenkata

Any guidance or experience from others who tried automating global permission assignments would be really helpful.

My guidance would be to refer to this thread over in the public Community forum, where you asked the same question less than a week ago and where the answer was provided to your question.
