Overview

Currently, to access the Release Management API, you need to obtain an Atlassian API token and use it to generate a Release Management API JWT token, which has a 15-minute lifetime. Since this may not always be convenient, we are implementing the ability to issue personal Release Management API tokens with longer lifetimes for easier third-party integration.

How to access tokens?

All your Personal Tokens are available via the following menu item:

  • move version/package

  • achieve milestone

  • assign environment

  • etc.

Behind these quick actions there will be API calls made to execute. This is where you Personal API tokens will bring immense value.
