Technical detail
Fides utilizes API endpoints to access the API service for a SaaS application. An API service is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.
Jira Endpoints
In the table below, you can find which endpoints are used for each type of privacy function. Clicking on the endpoint will take you to the documentation for that endpoint.
| Privacy function | Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Access Requests | Find Users (opens in a new tab) | Used to interact with project users |
| Delete Requests | Delete User (opens in a new tab) | Used to delete users from Jira's user base |
By default, deletion requests are fulfilled by masking personal information. To enable Fides to delete personal information, ensure the masking_strict variable in your fides.toml file is set to false.
