Understand Atlassian sites and organizations

An Atlassian organization provides a centralized place for managing your products and users. For more details about how organizations work, see Atlassian organizations.

A site contains instances of Atlassian products under your organization. For example, if you are about to migrate to an Atlassian account and never had one before, you’ll create a new Organization that contains a site, which then contains your Statuspage instance. Atlassian Organizations can have one or more sites; each site can only have one instance of each product.

If you were to add another Atlassian product to your suite, like Jira SoftwareCloud, you could add it to your site that contains Statuspage, or create a new site for your Jira Software Cloud instance.

Before Migration to Atlassian accounts

Statuspage historically had its own organization structure with pages within those organizations. Meanwhile, Atlassian organizations have sites, which can each contain one instance of each Atlassian product.

After Migration to Atlassian accounts

After migrating to Atlassian accounts, your Statuspage instance will be contained by a site. Your status pages will still remain within your instance of Statuspage.

Atlassian administration

The screenshot below shows the administration interface with a left side navigation and product list. The top navigation shows options such as Overview, Directory, Products, Security, Billing, and Settings for your organization. You can also see a list of your sites in a dropdown menu.

The Overview page is where you land in Atlassian admin when you visit admin.atlassian.com and select an organization. You’ll see plan and billing information for the products under your organization, and you can select the dropdown menu next to each product for more options.

Some products, like Opsgenie and Statuspage, have their own billing– these products are marked billed separately and any billing tools inside of Atlassian administration don’t apply to them.
