Summary

Provide an option for global administrators to allow the creation of "Never Expire" (Eternal) Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for specific users or tokens, even when the global setting to disable such tokens is applied to the rest of the users.

Expected Results

Global administrators should have the ability to designate certain users who can create "Never Expire" tokens, ensuring that applications relying on these tokens can function without disruption while maintaining overall security and control over token generation for the rest of the user base.

Ideally it would be possible for the admin to set specific tokens non-expiry via the Administering personal access tokens page.

That is including the scenario where the following property is set to false:

Rationale

By implementing this feature, Jira can maintain a balance between security and user needs. Some users or applications may have legitimate use cases for needing tokens that do not expire, and allowing administrators to selectively enable this feature would prevent misuse while supporting essential integrations.
