Learn about security solutions and standards
Care about security? We do too. Learn what Atlassian does and what you can do too.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular an identity provider and a service provider (such as Confluence Cloud).
SAML for single sign-on (SSO) makes it possible for your users to authenticate through your company's identity provider when they log in to Atlassian cloud products. SSO allows a user to authenticate once and then access multiple products during their session, without needing to authenticate with each of those.

Set up SAML single sign-on for your identity provider to connect with Atlassian products.
