Enhanced Security with OAuth Authentication Flow in Quantive Results' Jira Plugin

An updated Quantive Results' Plugin for Jira is now available with a significant improvement to our authentication system. In version 4, we have transitioned from Basic Authentication to OAuth for a more secure and seamless user experience.

This new version can be found in the Atlassian marketplace for download here.

What's new in version 4.1.0

Upon updating the Plugin to version 4.1.0, you will get:

• Enhanced Security
  OAuth provides a more robust and secure authentication mechanism than Basic Authentication, ensuring the safety of your account information.

• Improved user-based access
  Logging in through Quantive credentials enables access based on the roles and permissions of a user's Quantive profile.

• More access to OKRs
  The new authentication flow gives users direct access to all the OKRs visible to them in Quantive Results, including private ones not displayed in the previous plugin version.
