What you are seeing

The install prompt lists permissions the app does not appear to use, such as webhook or project management scopes.

The Atlassian Marketplace review and install screen for Markdown for Jira by Capable, with a permissions section listing seven actions, data management and analytics sections, and a Start free trial button.
The review and install step lists everything the app asks for before the trial starts.

#Why it happens

The app requests manage:jira-webhook, manage:jira-project and manage:jira-configuration at install even though the released Jira surfaces contain no webhook code path.

#What to do

Expect to see them in the scopes prompt. Raise it with Capable support if your review process requires narrower scopes.

#A few things that catch people out

  • Admins see these scopes on the install screen and again in the app's details in Manage apps.

  • If a later version asks for a new permission, the app keeps working and the new permission waits for an administrator to approve it.

Found it? Good.
