Overview
Prism for Jira is a Forge application built on Atlassian’s serverless platform. All computation, data storage, and network access occur entirely within Atlassian’s managed infrastructure. OpsShark does not operate any external servers, databases, or third-party services in connection with this app.
Data Storage
Prism stores data exclusively within Atlassian Forge Key-Value Storage (KVS). No personally identifiable information is stored beyond Jira issue keys and project keys, which are already internal identifiers within your Atlassian instance. All stored data resides within Atlassian’s data centers and is subject to Atlassian’s Security Practices.
Issue links — Associations between JSM requests and Jira Software work items (issue keys only).
Issue cache — Temporary snapshots of issue fields (summary, status, progress) used for portal display.
App settings — Global and per-project configuration preferences (display toggles, field references).
Data Access
Prism accesses the following Jira data via the Atlassian Forge runtime, using app-level credentials scoped to the installing instance. Data is never transmitted outside of Atlassian’s platform.
Issue fields: summary, status, priority, assignee display name, progress, due date.
Project metadata: project key, name, type, avatar.
JSM request context: request key, linked portal.
Data Egress
Prism does not send any data to external servers or APIs, share data with third-party analytics, advertising, or data brokers, log or export user data outside of Atlassian’s platform, or use any external CDN, tracking pixel, or remote resource.
Permissions
Prism requests the following OAuth scopes at installation:
read:jira-work — Read issue fields, status, and project metadata.
write:jira-work — Post public comments on JSM tickets when a link is created.
read:servicedesk-request — Access JSM request context for the customer portal panel.
storage:app — Read and write Forge KVS (app-scoped, not accessible to other apps).
No user-level tokens, passwords, or Personal Access Tokens (PATs) are requested or stored.
Authentication
Prism uses Atlassian’s built-in Forge app authentication (api.asApp()). All API calls are made on behalf of the app installation, not on behalf of individual users. No credentials are stored, transmitted, or exposed to end users.
Customer Portal Access
The customer-facing portal panel uses Atlassian’s unlicensedAccess feature to display linked work item progress to portal customers who are not licensed Jira users.
Read-only — portal customers cannot modify any data.
Scoped to KVS only — no Jira API calls are made in the portal resolver.
Instance-scoped — data is isolated to the installing Atlassian instance.
