Edit JIRA Project Permissions in Python

[Edgar Oregel]

Is there a jira function/method that allows you to edit a project's permissions, i.e. adding/removing roles in the permission scheme, through a python script?

Hello Edgar!

There's indeed a Python library for Jira with some features and methods:

• - Jira-Python

However, using REST API we do have an endpoint to add/remove roles in the permission scheme:

•  Update permission scheme - REST API

You can use the Python library to call this endpoint and perform API calls on this endpoint and achieve what you're looking for.

Does that help in your case?

Thanks,

I think that's pretty close. What I was wondering was if that Jira-Python library, after creating a JIRA instance, is there an internal function that allows you to do something to the effect of jira_object.grant_user_permission(<user>), and the same for all other JIRA permission actions.
