API to check organization user management type (original vs centralized)?

Leo Nguyen
January 25, 2026

Hello Atlassian team,

We are currently investigating user management behavior for organizations using the Organizations REST API.

At the moment, we understand that Org API v2 supports user suspension and removal for both original user management and centralized (new) user management. However, we could not find an explicit API or response field that indicates which user management mode an organization is using.

We would like to confirm the following points:

  1. Is there any official API or response property that explicitly identifies whether an organization uses original user management or centralized (new) user management?

  2. We noticed that some Organizations APIs expose additional response fields such as added_to_org only when the new user management experience is enabled. Can this behavior be considered a reliable and supported indicator of centralized user management?

  3. Is this behavior guaranteed to remain stable long term, or could these response fields change without notice?

  4. If there is currently no supported way to determine the user management type via API, are there any plans to expose this information in the future?

This information is important for us to handle organization-level user management logic correctly and safely.

Thank you for your support.
