Personal Access Tokens
Personal access tokens (PATs) provide a secure authentication method for connecting Jira Server to Ducalis. PATs are safer than using username and password credentials because you can control their expiration and revoke them independently.
:::info Enterprise feature This authentication method is available on Enterprise plans only. Contact us for Enterprise plan inquiries. :::
