Sync team members with SCIM user provisioning

Syncing your team with an external identity provider is a reliable way to manage your user data. By syncing your Atlassian team's member data with a group that is connected to your identity providers (IdP), you ensure that team member data remains accurate and up-to-date.

When a team is connected to a group, team members can only be managed by the external identity provider connected through the group. Read more about identity providers.

Connecting a group with a team

Groups can only be connected to a new team. To connect a team with a group:

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com and select your organization.

2. Select Directory from the top menu and switch to the Groups tab.

3. In the groups list, select a group that is managed by an IdP.

4. In the group detail, select Create team.

5. We’ll automatically assign a name to your team. Review the information and select Create team.

Once you create the team, member data will start syncing between the team and the group. This also means team members will now be managed exclusively through the external identity provider connected to the group.

Removing team from a group

You can remove the connection anytime by selecting the Remove team button. Removing a team from the group doesn’t delete the group; however, it becomes a user-managed team, and you can’t reconnect it with a group. To re-establish the connection, you’ll need to create a new team.
