Confluence access sharing

[Rüdiger]

We have several students in our company and would like to set up an access that all of them share. Is this possible and allowed?

Hi @Kevin Delord,

Unfortunately it's not possible to combine G Suite provisioning with SAML SSO. If you configure G Suite syncing, your users will also need to sign in with their Google account. To achieve both user syncing and SSO, there are two options:

1. Configure SAML SSO and use SCIM to sync users from your identity provider. We currently support user syncing for Okta – Azure AD and Onelogin are coming soon.

2. The G Suite integration supports both SSO and user syncing, so as mentioned above, if you are syncing users from G Suite, they will also be redirected to log in with their Google account to Atlassian Cloud.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Dave Meyer, 

Thank you for your quick reply.

Your answer cleared out the confusion, the integration of SAML SSO and the G Suite syncing are not compatible.

Do I still understand correctly that SAML SSO is possible with Google as Identity Provider when using Atlassian Access and configure an "unsupported identity provider" ?

It also appears that SSO + G Suite sync makes everything easier and faster, but what kind of SSO is it? My guess is OAuth and not SAML, could you confirm ? 

Thanks!!

Yes I believe this should be possible.

This uses Google's OpenID Connect endpoint.
