Managing API Token Permissions

Modified on Mon, 31 Mar at 6:38 PM

When integrating RevChart.io, it does neither make sense nor it is required to provide full access via the API token used to ingest Marketplace data. Below, we describe a method to limit the exposure and the access.


In brief, we'll create a new Atlassian ID to provide the required and limited access to and will create an API token only for that new account.


  1. Create an email alias or another email address you control, and head to the Atlassian ID Signup page.
  2. Sign up with the email alias and follow the steps to confirm the account.
  3. IMPORTANT: Next, you need to log in to the Atlassian Developer Console with the newly created account.
  4. Lastly, provide the new ID with the minimal permissions and role assignments as per the below image. ("View sales reports", "View all other reports", "Support") on your Marketplace Vendor teams page. You can find the page by inserting your Vendor ID into the following link:
    https://marketplace.atlassian.com/manage/vendors/<YOUR_VENDOR_ID/contacts
  5. Now follow the steps from section 2. Connect Your Atlassian Marketplace Vendor to create an API token and connect the vendor. Take care to create the token for the newly created limited access account.
