The create request applies options only when canParametrize is set, and the Web API never sets it, so every Web API start takes the definition's settings.\n\n-\nThe UI applies the options only when the user may parametrize the approval and is not a JSM customer (ApprovalRestController: canParametrizeApproval(ctx) && !isJsmCustomer). With the app's work item or page permissions on, that means the Parametrize approval permission.\n\n-\nAP-2380 first turned the options on for every non-JSM Web API start. The PR review pointed out that an API key with the \"Change performer origin\" privilege could then set options for a performer who cannot set them in the UI. AP-2380 keeps the old behaviour; this ticket applies the options with the same rule as the UI.\n\nChange\n\n-\nA Web API create applies the request's options only when the performer:\n\n-\nis not a JSM customer, and\n\n-\nmay parametrize the approval on that work item or page, by the same rule as the UI's canParametrizeApproval (always allowed while the app's work item or page permissions are off).\n\n-\nOtherwise the definition's settings are used, as today.\n\n-\nApplied options stay limited to what the global and definition settings allow.\n\n-\nThe permission is read with the reference grants the Web API access check already loads:\n\n-\nJira: the Parametrize approval key joins the bulk permission call of the access check. No extra call for keys with \"Change performer origin\"; one call for other keys, which skip that check today.\n\n-\nConfluence: the user's groups, through the existing 60 s cache, only when page permissions are on.\n\nDecisions needed\n\n-\nA request that sets options for a performer without the permission: ignore the options (what the UI does with a crafted request), or refuse it? Recommended: ignore them, as the UI does, and name the ignored options in the response so an integration can tell.\n\n-\nThe Web API does not check the performer's Start approval permission either; the UI does (canStartApproval). Check it in this ticket too? It changes behaviour for existing integrations: starts that work today would be refused.\n\n-\nPerformers that are no active user (the app, a deactivated account, a document-based origin that resolves to nobody): options ignored. Recommended, matches \"no permission\".\n\nOut of scope\n\n-\nRovo starts: they always take the definition's settings.\n\n-\nJSM customer starts: unchanged, the definition's settings.\n\nAcceptance criteria\n\n-\nA non-JSM performer who may parametrize: name, priority, deadline, reminders, abstain and the page-version option from the request are applied, within the global and definition settings.\n\n-\nA performer who may not: the definition's settings are used, and decision 1 is followed.\n\n-\nA JSM customer start: the definition's settings.\n\n-\nWork item or page permissions off: options are applied for every non-JSM performer.\n\n-\nJira keys with \"Change performer origin\" make no extra Atlassian call; other keys make at most one.\n\n-\nThe Web API schema (CreateApprovalRequest) says when the options apply; today it documents options the Web API ignores.\n\nManual tester notes\n\n-\nOn qa with the app's work item permissions on, create approvals through the Web API with a key whose performer has the Parametrize approval permission and with one whose performer lacks it.
