Sync Azure Active Directory Groups as Jira Service Desk "Organizations"

Chris Adams

Is it possible to use Azure AD Groups, synced with Atlassian Cloud, to define a Jira Service Desk "Organization" so that group will have access to place requests via email or the portal? I want certain service desk portals to be only visible to specific members of my organization, but I don't want to have to constantly manage those users manually. If I could embed an AAD Group inside a JSD "Organization" that would accomplish my goal, but I don't see a way of doing that.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? It seems odd that Azure AD groups can be used to set product permissions, but not for Service Desk Portal and Email permissions.

Hi @Chris Adams I'm trying to do the same thing right now, were you ever able to find a solution?

Chris Adams

Hi, Josh!

Unfortunately, no, I still have not found a good solution to this. Right now, I have all our JSM Projects open to anyone in our organization and have simply been guiding specific groups to the portal relevant to them by giving them direct links to the relevant projects and steering them away from the main portal hub which contains the search function and all the portals. Definitely not optimal, but it has been ok as a workaround.

Hey Chris,

sorry for the slow response, but I have kind of sorted out a way to do this. I sync AD groups to Jira in the normal way, then I created an Azure function app that runs daily, and makes some API calls to grab everyone in the orgs, and everyone in the related AD groups, then adds everyone to the org through the API calls. Seems to be working okay, and if you'd like I can share a more in depth view of the api stuff if you'd like to implement something similar.

Hey, Josh!

Thanks for the reply! That sounds great. I'd love to see more if you're able to share.
