When creating incoming links from external application, you need to select scopes, which are permissions the application can have on your instance.

As an admin, you can select which scopes the application can request from the authorizing user, but the actual permissions will always be capped at what this user can do. For example, even if you select the ADMIN permissions, the application won't be able to use them if the authorizing user only has WRITE permissions.

Here are the scopes you can select when configuring the link. The same scopes will be displayed to users when they authorize the integration. They can later be accessed in their user profile in Authorized applications, where they can also revoke the granted access.
