### Prerequisites

The following are the prerequisites for setting up the Jira development panel:

*   You must use Jira Cloud.
*   The user who sets up the Jira integration must have the Code Studio role of **Owner** or **Maintainer**, and must adhere to [Jira user requirements](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/jira_cloud_app.html#jira-user-requirements).

### Completing the integration

1.  Add the [GitLab for Jira Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221011/gitlab-com-for-jira-cloud?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) application to your Jira instance from the Atlassian Marketplace.
2.  Select **GitLab (self-managed)** as the GitLab version.
    
    You do not need to be a GitLab administrator.
    
    ![GitLab self-managed option is selected](https://acquia.widen.net/content/3e1e6fabnp/jpeg/code-studio_select-gitlab-version.jpeg?position=c&color=ffffffff&quality=80&u=vpccpg)
    
3.  Click **Next**.
4.  On the next screen, select all the checkboxes:
    
    *   **Prerequisites**
    *   **Set up OAuth authentication**
    *   **Set up your instance**
    *   **Jira user requirements**

    Acquia performs the first three steps. The **Jira user requirements** step must be completed by your Jira user.
    
5.  In **GitLab instance URL**, enter `https://code.acquia.com` and click **Save**.
    
    ![GitLab instance URL field contains the value https://code.acquia.com](https://acquia.widen.net/content/scc3jgeokw/jpeg/code-studio_gitlab-jira-instance-url.jpeg?position=c&color=ffffffff&quality=80&u=vpccpg)
    
6.  Click **Sign in to https://code.acquia.com**.

7.  Click **Authorize** to allow Jira Cloud access to your Code Studio account.
8.  If you do not see a screen to link groups, click **Link groups**.
    
    The system displays the Link groups dialog box.
