User management with Auzure Active Directory

[Herbert Natterer]

Hi,

because we have to migrate to cloud I got 2 questions from our IT administration department  about:

1. is SSO authentification wiht Azure Active Directory posible?
2. Is it possible to make assignments of roles and permissions within Jira and Azure Active Directory groups?
   The user is assinged to a group in the Active Directory and in Jira he will get automatically the necessary/corresponding rights

Thx,

Herbert

Hi Herbert,

Yes Atlassian Cloud supports SSO (with SAML) and user/ group provisioning with Azure AD. You need an Atlassian Access license for that.

Here is the list with all supported IDPs.

Microsoft even has a page about it: Tutorial: Azure Active Directory SSO integration with Atlassian Cloud

Hi Herbert,

Here are few suggestions to implement SSO with Azure AD.

First of all you need to check with duplicate users in user management and clear them.

Next you need to claim the domain instance in Jira instance.

Next need to get Atlassian Access subscription.

Next with the help of SAML we need to verify your instance with certificates on the both sides.

Then user/ group provisioning with Azure AD and then enforce SSO on any of test user and test.
