Improved API security in the Atlassian Cloud platform with Scopes and Service Account additions

Security for API in the Atlassian Cloud is a very important thing and in a new article in the Atlassian Community we got several new updates on changes coming soon.

When creating an API key, admins can restrict access to only the necessary permissions. Adding scopes restricts access to only what is necessary, helping to reduce the scale of any potential security incidents.

This is an amazing addition that really can secure your API. Early Access Program: Service accounts: reduce admin overhead with service accounts by eliminating the need to maintain passwords, SSO, or 2FA for accounts that are only created to run scripts and integrations. Another amazing addition that really, really will save time and effort when setting up integrations!

In the article we also see more information on Orphaned API keys and Expiry of API and SCIM keys.
