Change access settings for your customers

Customer access allows site admins to control:

whether or not Atlassian accounts are allowed to be created for internal customers, based on the approved domains configured on your site. Learn more about approved domains.
how accounts will be created for internal and/or external customers to send requests and access portals on the site
whether or not customers need to be logged in to access the portals on the site.

Learn more about managing accounts for Jira Service Management customers.

An internal customer is typically someone that:

you view as an internal client, for example, employees at your company that need support from the IT department
may collaborate within Jira Service Management or other Atlassian products, for example, Confluence.

An external customer is typically someone that you:

view strictly as an external, portal-only client, for example, people outside your company
don't foresee collaborating within Jira Service Management or other Atlassian products.

External customers with portal-only accounts can send requests and access your help center for free. Internal customers with Atlassian accounts can also access your help centers at no cost, if no product license is granted to them.
