Contributor to Jira Product Discovery with SSO

[bruno71]

I am using the free account for Jira and Jira Product Discovery.  I have about a dozen people at our company that I would like to invite to be Contributors to my JPD space for voting and commenting on ideas.  We already use M365 (Azure/Entra ID).  Am I able to set them up with an Single-Sign-On account for logging in without paying for anything?  I don't want them to need to manage another username/password just for this.

You need Atlassian guard to do this: https://www.atlassian.com/software/guard

It's 4.20$/month/user: https://www.atlassian.com/software/guard/pricing

So even though they are only going to be "Contributors", I still have to pay per person for each of them to have SSO?  Or do I only need one Atlassian Guard license for me as a Creator, and the rest of them are free?

It's a different product that handles SSO and you have to pay per user that uses SSO - independent of the product licenses for Jira and Product Discovery. You start to need enterprise features, so you start to pay enterprise prices. That's the freemium business model ;-)

Hello, 
I confirm: you will need Atlassian Guard to do this.

But, please be aware that Creators who only have a license for Jira Product Discovery aren't billable under Atlassian Guard for the moment. Contributors and stakeholders (as long as they don't hold another Atlassian product license) aren't billable either, even when synced via SCIM. You can enforce SSO for these users - this doesn't make them billable.

OK...thank you.  You can see the confusion and conflicting answers I've been getting.  The Atlassian landscape can be difficult to navigate.  For now, it was just easier to manually invite the 30 Contributors to JPD instead of trying to figure all this out.
