What happens to Atlassian accounts when their domain is verified or unverified?

Summary

Learn what happens to Atlassian accounts when verifying or unverifying a domain, including account management changes.

Domain verification

Verify your company’s domain to prove that you own all user accounts with that domain. Your company’s domain is everything that comes after the @ symbol in the email addresses of your users' accounts. For example, Atlassian owns the domain atlassian.com.

When you verify a domain for your organization, you do two things:

  1. verify ownership of your company's domain and

  2. claim users' accounts with that domain.

Example

Let's say you have a company called YourCompany and want to verify a domain called yourDomain.

What happens to the Atlassian cloud users of the domain yourDomain when the above change is made?

  • Users will receive an in-app notification on their Atlassian profiles mentioning that their account is now managed.

  • No email notification will be triggered for these users.

  • Users will no longer be able to delete their accounts.

  • Users will no longer be able to change their email address.

  • Profile visibility options will change back to default settings. See Update profile and visibility settings for more information.
