# Create Jira Issues for Cloud Security Issues
Available for:
{% icon name="icon-cloud-security-management" /%}
 Cloud Security Misconfigurations | 
{% icon name="icon-cloud-security-management" /%}
 Cloud Security Identity Risks 
Use the [Jira integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/jira/) to create Jira issues for resources that are impacted by a Cloud Security security issue. Jira for Cloud Security is available for [Cloud Security Misconfigurations](https://docs.datadoghq.com/security/cloud_security_management/misconfigurations/) and [Cloud Security Identity Risks](https://docs.datadoghq.com/security/cloud_security_management/identity_risks/).

**Notes**:

- To create Jira issues, you must have the `security_monitoring_findings_write` permission. See [Role Based Access Control](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/rbac/permissions/#cloud-security-platform) for more information about Datadog's default roles and granular role-based access control permissions available for Cloud Security.
- At this time, you can create only one Jira issue per finding.
