To improve security, starting with app version 5.3.8, we updated how data sources can be edited and configured. These changes apply to shared and cloned data sources. Data sources with a changed owner will be affected in a future app version.
What’s changing?
-
Shared data sources: Starting with app version 5.3.8, users a data source is shared with can no longer edit it. The original owner and Jira administrators retain the ability to edit the data source. The “Allow re-sharing this data source” option has been removed.
-
Cloned data sources: Starting with app version 5.3.8, when you clone a data source, you must set up your own SQL database connection to complete the configuration.
-
Data sources with a changed owner: In an upcoming app version, if you change a data source's owner, the new owner will need to set up their own SQL database connection to complete the configuration.
In the upcoming release, manual installation of database drivers will also be disabled.
What do you need to do?
If you clone a data source or become the new owner of a data source, set up your own SQL database connection to complete the configuration. Once the configuration is complete, you can export data using the data source.
These changes are intended to improve security by ensuring that cloned data sources and data sources with a changed owner use their own database connections.
