Atlassian Access Administration: Course description

Minimize security risk while saving time. Learn how to use Atlassian Access for enterprise-grade identity and access management (IAM).

This on-demand course will show you how to use Atlassian Access to easily administer enterprise-level security and authentication controls for all users across Atlassian products.

  • How to verify your organization domain(s) to claim users

  • How to integrate a third-party identity provider for SAML single sign-on (SSO)

  • How to automatically onboard, update, or deactivate users and groups

  • How to check user and product activity for transparency and compliance


Whether you’ve migrated to Cloud, manage too many users manually, or simply want to better protect your company’s data, you can enhance security and governance for Atlassian cloud products across your organization with Atlassian Access.

For Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) single sign-on (SSO), you’ll get a walkthrough to set up a third-party identity provider. This course uses Okta as an example. But you can apply the process to Microsoft Azure, Idaptive, Google, or other supported identity providers.

You’ll also see how to add security policies without using an identity provider, such as enforcing two-step verification.

User provisioning and deprovisioning is also covered – so your team automatically has access to Atlassian products exactly when they should (and never when they shouldn’t).

And to be able to detect suspicious behavior, manage shadow IT, and streamline product usage, you’ll learn how to oversee activity across your entire organization.
