We want to note that when you connect the cloud and server Jira system, there are could be some features. At this point in the cloud system authorization can be made either with a password or with a token. The boxed version assumes password authorization only. In the future, for cloud solutions, it is planned to leave only token authorization, so we recommend initially using this method for authorization.

To connect using a login and password, you must use the credentials of your Jira system.

If you authorize by login and token, then the token of your system must be initially generated by authorizing on the Jira portal. To do this, go to https://id.atlassian.com, enter your Jira system authorization data, then go to Tokens and click Create token button:
