Atlassian Team member - provisioning or syncing with Entra ID (Azure)

Question

Hello Atlassian community,

I was wondering if there is anyway to sync or provision Atlassian Team members from Entra ID (Azure Microsoft)? 
Or if not if I could use API and scripting to achieve that in any way?

The reason for my question is that we might want to setup these teams for the entire company, but we do not really want to manage the members of these teams manually. We want that the group memberships are based from Entra ID, where all the teams always will always be up to date.

Reference for my question: What is an Atlassian team? | Atlassian Support

Please let me know if you if there is anyway to sync Atlassian Teams or if it is currently purely a manual creation and maintenance.
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Simon

I know I know I'm necro-posting, but this question still popped up in a Google search for:

sync teams to groups atlassian

And the great news is, as of March 2025 you CAN sync Entra / SCIM (and even Microsoft Graph) provisioned groups with Atlassian Teams:

* Sync team members with SCIM user provisioning 
* Announcement: Managed Teams is now available to Premium and Enterprise customers!

Oh, and today I learned that as of July 2025 they also support syncing from Workday:

* Sync teams data from Workday 
* Announcement: 🚀 Sync Your Teams from Workday into Atlassian

Is there a fix for this or a ticket I can follow/vote?

Hi @Jean-Philippe Lachance
exactly!
Instead of creating and maintaining the team within Atlassian, which are usually departments or teams that are already registered in the Entra ID (or any other SCIM), it would be better if we can provisioned them as it is possible for groups already.

We could then use these teams, for example, in mentions in Confluence pages.

If this is considered a change, then please create a change request or send me the existing change so I can watch and vote for it.
Thanks!

Cheers,
Simon
