Cause
Until Bamboo versions 6.8.3 and 6.9.1, Bamboo expected the username variable in the JSON response from Bitbucket that is used when creating or modifying Linked or Plan repositories. As Bamboo uses that username for authentication checks, this change resulted in 401 (Unauthorized) exceptions when creating and editing Bitbucket Cloud Linked repositories.
Workaround
As a workaround, we recommend creating Linked repositories of type Git or Mercurial to connect to your Bitbucket Cloud repositories.
