I want to import the Sprint ID as a custom hierarchy for Sprint, in order to combine sprints from several team boards into one.  
According to the [Sprint reports for sprint week cycles](https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybi/learn-more/learn-eazybi-through-examples/sprint-reports-for-sprint-week-cycles-sprint-custom-hierarchies) guide, I need to add Jira as an additional REST API source application.  
The problem I have is with the authentication parameters.

I am using EasyBI for Jira Cloud, and I use my Google account for logging into Jira, so I don’t have a username and password.  
I am lost trying to set up the authentication without it.  
I am unable to reset my Jira password (also through our admin), so I can’t get a password in addition to the Google login.  
I’m guessing I’m supposed to setup the REST API source parameters with oAuth 1 or 2, but I don’t know what parameters to put there.

I tried going over all the guides but failed to figure it out.  
Can anyone please assist?

I solved it!  
Had to generate an API token in my Atlassian account, and then used that as my password, together with my email as the username.
