Centralized user management content

Atlassian organizations bring together your company’s users and products. As an organization admin, you manage the Atlassian accounts of your employees and the products that belong to your organization.

Manage products for an organization

When you create a new instance of an Atlassian cloud product, you can manage it from your organization. The products that can be part of your organization include Jira products (Jira and Jira Service Management), Confluence, Statuspage, Trello, Opsgenie, and Bitbucket.

When you manage products from this central location, you have access to all administration settings and billing details. With an Atlassian Guard Standard subscription, you can gain additional insight into activities across your organization with an audit log and charts about product usage and security adoption.

Manage user accounts for an organization

Users aren’t tied to any one product, which means that they can get access to products within or outside your organization.

Users aren’t tied to one organization either until you can claim ownership of their accounts. When you do, they become your organization’s managed accounts, but can still access products outside your organization.

You have full control over managed accounts. You can update their email address and other details, deactivate or delete accounts, and enforce authentication policies for secure login. With an Atlassian Guard Standard subscription, we offer more advanced features, like syncing users from a directory outside your organization. When you sync users to your managed accounts, your settings impact how those accounts log into your products, as shown in the illustration.

Manage products for an organization

When you create a new instance of an Atlassian cloud product, you can manage it from your organization. Each instance of the product is associated with a site, which has its own site URL and administration. The products that can be part of your organization include Jira products (Jira and Jira Service Management), Confluence, Statuspage, Trello, and Opsgenie. Currently, Bitbucket can’t be associated with an organization.
