How to configurate SSO with microsoft Azure

[Emanuel Hausmann]

Hello everyone

I work in a company and we would like to implement Single Sign on for our Jira Software (Cloud). We would like to do that with our microsoft accounts we are currently using M365 products and services and for security reasons it makes sense to implement SSO for Jira. 

Could you please guide me on how to do that, do you maybe have a guide or something like that, thank you very much in advance.

Regards Emanuel

Hello, Good day. Please raise this request in Atlassian Access community forum. https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Access/ct-p/identity-manager

To integrate SSO with Atlassian products we need Atlassian Access subscription.

@Mohanraj Thangamuthu I also have a question regarding configuring SSO using Microsoft Entra ID. I hope you don't mind me asking it here instead of posting a new question. 

Thanks to the Atlassian comprehensive document, I can do it without a problem. However, we want to confirm a few things before implementing it. 

We have been using Atlassian for years and want to use SSO using Azure AD. We want to minimise the disruption as much as possible. 

The questions are: 

1. Will it affect the existing users? How can we map users after provisioning it in Entra ID?
2. Can we do it in stages? i.e. Test it on a group of users before deploying it to everyone in the organisation. 

Any advice is much appreciated.
