Link domains to a different directory

Linking a domain to a different directory allows you to specify which directory manages your user identities. When you delete user provisioning via SCIM or delete a single sign-on SAML configuration, you may need to link domains to a different directory.

After you link the domain to a directory, we sync the new user accounts from your identity provider and add them to the default authentication policy of the directory.

To link domains to a different directory:

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

2. Select Security, then User security, then Identity providers.

3. Select the Directory you’d like to view.

4. Select View domains.

5. Select Link to a different directory.

6. Choose a new directory for the domain.

   1. A local directory. You can’t enforce single sign-on and can only set password requirements and idle session duration in an authentication policy.

   2. An identity provider directory. You can enforce single sign-on in an authentication policy.
