Disable space level connections to Jira

Disable space level connections to Jira when you need to restrict adding/editing connections to people with Confluence admin permission.

Navigate to Confluence Settings in the top navigation bar (cog icon next to the profile image) and then select Advanced Issue Macro from the left navigation under the Apps sub-heading. To locate this, you may need to scroll the left navigation and expand the Apps sub-heading.

Toggle off the Allow Jira connections in individual spaces setting under Per-space Jira connections.

Note that any existing space level connections will stop working when this setting is switched off.

It is also possible to retain space level connections, but restrict adding/editing such connections to people with Confluence admin permission. To do this, select Only Confluence Admins can edit under Permissions for per-space connections.

When this setting is selected, space level connections can only be added/edited from this page (not from Space settings in individual spaces).
