Manage security containers in Jira

Once you’ve connected a security tool to your Jira Software site, its security containers (like a code repository or docker image) can be added to your project.

Then, when you’ve added a security container to your project, its vulnerabilities will appear in the security feature.

The security containers section in the security feature shows all containers that have been added to your project. Each container shows the name of the security tool it is from, and how recently it was updated. Select a container to view its details in your security tool.

Jira Software only receives data from your security tool. To make changes to a security container, you have to go to your security tool.

Connect a security container to a project

You can connect as many security containers to a project as you like. Security containers can be connected to more than one project at a time.

Once the security feature is enabled in your project, to connect a container to a project:

1. From your project's sidebar, select Security.

2. Select Edit security containers in the top-right of the screen.

3. Select the add connection button () next to the container’s security tool.

4. Choose the container from the list and select Add container.

Remove a security container from a project

1. From your project's sidebar, select Security.

2. Select Edit security containers in the top-right of the screen.

3. Hover over the container in the list (you may need to select Load more security containers to see it in the list).

4. Select the more actions icon ().

5. Select Remove connection.
