Change policy for members

You may need to move members from one policy to another policy. You can move individual members by going to Change member’s policy or Add members. You can only move members in bulk by using Add members.

To change the policy for individual members:

  2. Select Security > Authentication policies.

  3. Select Edit for the policy the member belongs to.

  4. Select Members tab > Change member’s policy.

  5. Choose a different policy for this member.

You can move members from one policy in a directory to a policy in a different directory. Learn more about directories

To change the policy for more than one member:

  1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.

  2. Select Security > Authentication policies.

  3. Select Edit for the policy to move members to.

  4. Select Members tab > Add members.

  5. Select Bulk entry > Select Upload to add CSV file (only up to 10,000 emails from your managed accounts are allowed).

  6. Select Add.

We'll add members to the new policy and apply the change next time the member logs in.

A member can only be in one policy at a time.

Export members from an authentication policy

You can export a list of all your members in an authentication policy to a CSV file.

  1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.

  2. Select Security > Authentication policies.

  3. Select a policy > Members.

  4. Select Export members to a CSV file.

We’ll send you an email with a link to download the CSV file. It may take a while if you have a large number of member accounts. The download link in the email expires in 24 hours. Anyone with the link can download the CSV file.
