Adding and Managing Connections

DevOps Gadgets for Jira displays data (such as commits, pipeline, pull requests, etc.) from Bitbucket Cloud in Jira dashboards through the gadgets it provides. Which Bitbucket Cloud instances this app integrates with is something that the Jira administrator can configure through the application's global settings.
At least one Bitbucket Cloud connection must be added for app gadgets to be configured and used by the Jira users.
Adding a new connection
Follow these steps to add a new connection to a Bitbucket Cloud instance:
Log into your instance of Jira Cloud as an admin.
Go to Apps > Manage Apps > DevOps Gadgets
Click Add Connection
Enter the details of the new connection.
Name - type a friendly and representative name for the new connection. This is what the users will see when they configure the app gadgets.
Workspace URL - the URL of the Bitbucket Cloud instance that you want the app to integrate with.
Click Save
When connecting and retrieving data from the Bitbucket instance, the app will act on behalf of the Jira user who is using the gadgets and will use the permissions of the user. This means that Jira users attempting to use the app's gadgets with this connection must also be users of this Bitbucket instance.
Managing the existing connections
The added connections are listed on the Connections page accesible via Apps > Manage Apps > DevOps Gadgets. You can modify or deleted the existing connections by clicking the appropriate icon under the Actions column of the connections table.
