The create and selection dialogs in the JIRA adapter use the credentials that have been established with the JIRA product's web session. That is, the adapter creation dialog uses the user identity with which you have logged into JIRA. In JIRA, a JIRA product administrator can give anonymous users the privilege to create JIRA issues. Under these circumstances, when users invoke a delegated dialog from the adapter interface, they are not prompted to login with Rational credentials and this dialog action proceeds using with the anonymous users's access. This can be confusing because you may assume that you are already logged in with your user account instead of an anonymous account on JIRA, but that is not the case. The consequences is that the user invokes a delegated creation dialog without having the opportunity to login as themselves first.
