Assign Users to Roles in Jira

With Apono you’ll be able to create dynamic Access Flows that grant permissions with high granularity and a full audit.

Just-inTime
(JIT)

Jira is a widely used project management and issue tracking software developed by Atlassian. It is designed to help teams plan, track, and manage their work across various projects and workflows. Jira provides features for agile project management, software development, bug tracking, task management, and more, making it suitable for a wide range of teams and industries.

Just-in-Time (JIT) access involves assigning permissions to users or systems in real-time as needed, rather than maintaining continuous access. This strategy is frequently employed in cybersecurity to reduce the risk of security breaches by restricting unnecessary access. It aligns with the principle of least privilege (POLP), emphasizing that users should only have the minimum access levels required to fulfill their tasks.

AWS Use Cases

Developer JIT Access

  • Limit access to the minimum required permissions and implement strict controls on when those permissions are granted. JIT access helps enhance overall security. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
  • Integrate JIT access with your incident response plan. In the event of a security incident, having the ability to quickly adjust access permissions can be crucial for containing and mitigating the impact.
  • Utilize JIT access with your identity management systems. This integration streamlines the process of aligning access permissions with changes in user roles, making it more efficient and less prone to errors.

Benefits

Apono automates access management to Jira

01

Time-Restricted Access

Rather than providing access for an indefinite duration, implement a more strategic approach by opting for time-bound access provisioning. This strategy involves assigning access permissions for a specified and predetermined period, enhancing the control and security of your access management practices. By adopting time-bound access, your organization gains the flexibility to align permissions precisely with the requirements of specific tasks or roles.

02

Single Source of Truth

Centralize and streamline the management of privileges across your entire technology stack by consolidating them within a unified platform. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also facilitates a more comprehensive and cohesive oversight of the various permissions and access levels throughout your system, contributing to a more robust and integrated security framework.

03

Request & Approve via ChatOps

Leverage the power of ChatOps workflows, seamlessly integrating platforms such as Slack and Teams, to both grant and request access in a collaborative and streamlined manner. This innovative approach enhances the accessibility and efficiency of access management within your organizational framework. By incorporating ChatOps, you create an environment where access permissions can be granted or requested through intuitive and user-friendly interfaces, such as chat interfaces in Slack or Teams.
