Real Atlassian solutions to real problems — no fluff, no SEO spam.
Rovo agent permissions control who can create, edit and use an agent, and the agent then acts as you or as its own account. Here's what an admin can actually set today, what gets logged, where the human in the loop sits, and how CogniRunner 6.1 agents wait for a Jira administrator before they delete anything.

JCMA stops with "We couldn't export Custom Field Config Scheme" and a java.lang.NullPointerException, and the same message has three unrelated causes, each documented in a different Atlassian source. Here is how to tell them apart from the log line, the fix for each, three problems in the knowledge base's own SQL, and what the Cloud-to-Cloud side looks like.

An Atlassian data security policy has seven controls, and only one of them works without Atlassian Guard: blocking all Marketplace and custom apps from chosen spaces. This post walks through what each control blocks, what the app access rule really takes away from an app, what the admin API says when you try a Guard control without Guard, and what happens to policies and classification levels on a Data Center to Cloud or Cloud to Cloud migration.

Until this release CogniRunner could only act when an issue crossed a workflow transition. 3.3.0 adds the two other ways an automation has always needed to run — react to an event, or run on a schedule — and a REST API that provisions both as JSON. Here is what each one actually does, what it refuses to do, and why the guard rails are shaped the way they are.

A migration report is written by the process that did the work, from the same assumptions. And the check you run instead has a worse failure: if your account cannot see a project, the audit returns zero and reads as good news.

A JSU condition reading priority > 5 can arrive on Cloud as priority = 5. The rule is present, enabled, and green. It now guards a different thing, and nothing anywhere reports it.

I passed the Claude Certified Architect and ACP-120 within days of each other. One of them changed how I build agentic workflows, and not for the reason I expected. Here is the honest version, and what I am building next.
