FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TigerAccess support Jira Cloud and Jira Server/Data Center?

Yes. TigerAccess supports both Jira Cloud (via REST API) and Jira Server/Data Center installations. The integration automatically detects your Jira deployment type and uses the appropriate API endpoints.

Can I use existing Jira workflows for access approvals?

Absolutely. TigerAccess integrates with your existing Jira workflows. You can map access request states to workflow transitions, use custom fields for metadata, and leverage automation rules for notifications and escalations.

How does bidirectional sync work?

TigerAccess creates Jira tickets when users request access and continuously syncs the approval status. When approvers take action in Jira (approve/deny), webhooks notify TigerAccess to grant or revoke access accordingly. Comments and status changes sync in real-time.

Can I require a Jira ticket before granting access?

Yes. You can configure policies that require an approved Jira ticket (by issue key) before granting privileged access. This ensures all access has proper business justification and change management approval.

What happens when access expires?

When access expires in TigerAccess, the linked Jira ticket is automatically transitioned to a "Closed" or "Resolved" state with a comment explaining the expiration. This keeps your Jira project clean and provides a complete audit trail.
