Discovered products (or Shadow IT) is what we call managed account users signing up for products on their own. You can see an overview of the products that they’ve signed up to and administer outside of your organization, on the Discovered products screen. From there, you can take actions to manage these shadow instances. What is the impact of shadow IT on my organization?

 

To view details of discovered products:

  1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.

  2. Select Security > Discovered products.

Discovered products page showing five columns, with the organization admin column removed.

Products appear in this list when:

  • Your managed account starts a new Confluence or Jira product.

  • Your managed account started a new Confluence or Jira product before you verified your domain and claimed their account.

Products don’t appear in your Discovered products when your managed account signed up for the product with an email address that your organization doesn’t manage. In this situation, they changed their email address before you verified your domain and they become a managed account.

This table includes more details about the information you see for your Discovered products.

Actions ()

Options you can select:

  • Join as admin – We grant you organization admin permissions to manage this product and any other products under the same organization. This includes access to view billing details. Once you join as admin, you have options to open the organization or the product.

  • View organization admins – Opens a window with a list of organization admin names and their emails.

  • Copy row to clipboard – Copies all details in the row, including admins' emails.

If your managed accounts are removed as organization admins, the product remains a discovered product but there will be no admins to contact, so the option to View organization admins won’t appear in the window. You also won’t be able to Join as admin for this product.
