Atlassian forced OnDemand users to migrate their source from FishEye to Bitbucket. So far so good.
The problem is that for every JIRA user I have to create a Bitbucket user (with its own account). Even worse, frequently the username cannot be the same since BB user names must be unique across all the world (because you don't have a company/team instance like in Jira, even if you setup a team).
This is very confusing for the users who suddenly need new credentials, not even their JIRA username is recognised, and when they login in BB they land in their own account, not it the company's team.
Also there are JIRA users who don't use the VCS but need to access a file in the repo. Before I could simply paste a link to the file in the issue, now this doesn't work any more unless I setup a BB account for them and explain them how to use it (a big overhead because the BB look & feel is quite different from JIRA).
Finally my questions:
- Is there a mean to unify the credentials (global users like in Confluence) ?
I would like not to have to login a second time when I'm already logged in JIRA
- Does Atlassian have plans to integrate Bitbucket more tightly in JIRA (like Fisheye was before) ?The DVCS connector allows linking commits to issues but to browse code you need login in BB and learn a whole new environment.
