# Connect Jira

Connect Jira to turn security findings into Jira tasks. Once connected, you can create a task from any finding by hand, and set rules that create tasks automatically. Connecting Jira is an admin action, and you need permission to authorize an OAuth app on your Jira org.

## Connect and map repositories


    <Step title="Connect your Jira org">
        Go to [**Integrations**](https://app.sourcery.ai/dashboard/integrations) and connect
        Jira. Sourcery sends you to Jira to authorize the connection, then brings you back.
    </Step>

    <Step title="Map repositories to projects">
        Map each repository to a default Jira project. Tasks from that repository's findings go to
        the project you choose. You don't need to map everything: set an org-wide default project as
        the fallback for any repository you skip.
    </Step>



## Autocreate rules

Autocreate opens a Jira task for a finding the moment a scan reports it. It's available on the [Team plan](/admin/plans/). These controls decide which findings qualify:

| Control                | What it does                                                                               |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Minimum severity       | Findings below this severity never autocreate a task.                                      |
| Issue types            | Turn autocreate on or off for SAST, IaC, secret, dependency, and license findings.         |
| Maximum issues per day | Limits how many tasks autocreate can open in a day, so a noisy scan can't flood a project. |

> Autocreate runs as part of a security scan, so it needs security scanning turned on. Creating a
>     task by hand does not.

## Create tasks by hand

With Jira connected, you can open a task from any finding without turning on autocreate. Do this from the [security findings](/security/findings/) page, where each finding offers a create-task action. Use it to escalate one finding without flooding Jira with the rest.
