Access allows companies to establish control of and apply security policies to all accounts using their domain for Atlassian cloud products, including Jira Software, Jira Service Desk, Confluence, Bitbucket, Trello. 

When companies set up Access for the first time, they create an Organization, which is a management layer that gives admins the ability to view and apply controls to all Atlassian accounts using an email address belonging to their company.

Once a company has set up an Organization, they can verify their domain, bringing all Atlassian accounts using email addresses from their owned domains under their control.

With your organization created and your domain verified, you can now utilize Atlassian Access to standardize security and centralize administration across all users in your organization. 

Access acts as a bridge between Atlassian tools and the company’s existing management software. Access integrates with industry-leading identity and security products like Okta, Idaptive, Google Cloud Identity, Azure AD, and Onelogin for SAML single sign-on and automated user provisioning. 

If users don't yet have an identity provider to connect Atlassian Access to, they can also set up enforced two-step verification.

Access also provides admins with full visibility into important activity data through an organization audit log as well as product adoption data through organization insights. 

For admins, the task of managing users at scale becomes a matter of ease, as users are automatically provisioned and deprovisioned as they are added, moved, or removed from groups in the organization’s identity provider.

For security teams, ensuring organizational compliance with policies is simplified, with SAML single sign-on, enforced two-step verification, and API token controls.

For employees already using Atlassian cloud products, access to their Atlassian tools becomes even easier, and they don't have to remember yet another password.

For new hires, day 1 becomes much smoother, with a seamless onboarding flow that gives them all the tools they need.

Access is great for companies that:

• Want an additional layer of security
• Need help with administration at scale
• Seek deeper insight into their organization's use of tools
• Work in regulated industries, like healthcare and finance

Access provides enterprise-grade security and administration features, including:

In order to use Access, a company must:

• Set up an Atlassian Organization
• Verify their domain, which requires them to be able to make changes to their web domain’s DNS or HTTPS settings.
• Be ready to coordinate with other Atlassian stakeholders in their organization for a company-wide implementation of Access.
