As Atlassian has announced its move from Data Center to Cloud, thousands of organizations are embracing this shift, prioritizing flexibility, scalability, and integrated security.
With 75% of regulated and large enterprise customers having already moved to Atlassian Cloud, teams are facing new challenges, from managing user access and securing logins to automating provisioning, protecting sensitive data, and maintaining compliance in distributed environments.
miniOrange helps organizations solve these challenges with secure, automated, and easy-to-manage solutions for Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian Cloud products.
Let’s explore the top miniOrange Atlassian cloud apps, the essential tools transforming how teams manage users, protect data, and collaborate securely in the Cloud.
1. Automated User Management & Auto-Deactivation for Jira
Save License Costs with Smarter User Management
As your team grows, managing users manually in Jira Cloud can become expensive, with the process being time-consuming for Jira admins. miniOrange’s Automated User Management & Auto-Deactivation app automates license management and the cleanup process, saving license cost and admin time.
The app enables automated user lifecycle management and auto-deactivates inactive accounts to optimize license use. When compared to the default user management options available in Jira Cloud, this app adds automation, intelligence, and policy-driven cleanup that significantly improves accuracy and cost-efficiency.
How It Works
After installation of our app on Jira, the admins can configure it in a few minutes and set the app up to automatically manage user licenses. It ensures that only active employees retain licenses, reducing overhead, security risk and saving admin time.
Key Features
- Auto-Deactivation and Activation: Identify and remove inactive Jira Cloud users. Also, automate activating suspended users.
- License Optimization: Save on unnecessary Jira Cloud licenses.
- Audit-Ready Management: Maintain compliance effortlessly.
2. SAML/OAuth SSO for JSM Customers
Secure, Seamless Customer Access for Jira Service Management
The SAML/OAuth SSO for JSM Customers app by miniOrange enables secure authentication for external customers/portal only customers in Jira Service Management (JSM) Cloud.
JSM’s default authentication options are limited for customer portals. With JSM Cloud SAML and OAuth login, customers can sign in using their existing enterprise credentials, no new accounts, no confusion.
How It Works
The app connects your JSM Cloud portal with the customer’s IdP. When users visit, they’re redirected for authentication and logged in automatically, ensuring a smooth, password-free experience.
Key Features
- Multi-IdP & Protocol Support: Connect multiple identity providers from multiple customer domains.
- Advanced Security Controls: Enforce MFA along with SSO for enhanced security.
- Portal Access Mapping: Secure customer portal access by mapping it with JSM Organizations and IDP groups, allowing only authorized users to gain entry
- Organization Mapping: Map your users to JSM Organizations based on their IDP groups and domains.
3. Single Sign-On (SSO) via OAuth/OpenID for Jira and Confluence
Simplify Cloud Logins with OAuth and OpenID Connect
Many organizations today rely on modern OAuth and OpenID Connect providers because they offer fast, secure, token-based authentication built for cloud applications. But there’s a major blocker: Atlassian Guard doesn’t support OAuth or OIDC for SSO.
This leaves companies unable to connect Jira or Confluence Cloud to their existing identity ecosystem, forcing fragmented logins and extra administrative overhead.
The miniOrange OAuth/OIDC SSO app eliminates this gap by enabling seamless, standards-based authentication using your preferred provider like Azure AD (Entra ID), Keycloak, Okta, AWS Cognito, or any custom OAuth/OIDC IdP.
How It Works
Once miniOrange OAuth/OIDC SSO is configured, users are redirected to their IdP for authentication and logged into Jira or Confluence instantly. The process is secure, standards-based, and reduces password fatigue while boosting compliance.
Key Features
- OAuth & OpenID Connect Support: Enable modern, token-based authentication.
- Support for Multiple IDPs - Connect Multiple IDPs without having to move to the Enterprise plan.
- Seamless Atlassian Cloud Login: Unified sign-in across Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket Cloud.
4. SCIM Provisioning, User Sync & Group Sync for Jira and Confluence
Automate User Sync Across Atlassian Cloud
Maintaining user consistency across multiple tools can lead to errors. The SCIM Provisioning, User Sync & Group Sync app automates it all, seamlessly syncing users & groups from identity systems like Azure AD (Entra ID), Okta, etc to Atlassian Cloud.
How It Works
The app uses the SCIM protocols and Rest APIs to create, update, and deactivate users in real time based on your central identity provider. This ensures secure, up-to-date access for every employee, across all Atlassian Cloud products.
Key Features
- Automated User & Group Sync: Real-time synchronization via SCIM 2.0.
- Multi-Directory Support: Works with Azure AD, Okta, and more.
- User Lifecycle Automation: Reflect changes instantly across systems.
5. Secure Share for Jira and Confluence External Users
Collaborate Securely Beyond Your Organization
Teams often need to share issues or documents with partners, but default options require licenses or insecure exports. The Secure Share for Jira and Confluence app enables safe external collaboration without extra Atlassian licenses, perfect for working with clients, vendors, or consultants. The app also enables time-bound, password-protected sharing instead.
How It Works
Users can generate secure links for Jira issues or Confluence pages, set expiration dates, and revoke access instantly, all while maintaining control and compliance.
Key Features
- Share Without Licenses: External access without extra costs.
- Secure Links: Add expiry, domain, and password restrictions.
- Real-Time Revocation: Stop access anytime.
6. PII Scanner (DLP) for Jira and Confluence
Protect Sensitive Data in Atlassian Cloud
With data privacy laws tightening, teams must ensure no personally identifiable information (PII) is accidentally stored in Jira tickets or Confluence pages. miniOrange’s Data – PII Scanner (DLP) app helps detect and secure such data automatically.
Sensitive data like credit card numbers, emails, IDs or any other kind of sensitive information can easily slip into comments or attachments & be exposed. Data -PII Scanner (DLP) performs automated scans to flag and protect the data from accidental leaks.
How It Works
The app scans Jira and Confluence Cloud for PII and alerts admins instantly when sensitive information is detected. You can define custom rules and take action, redact, mask, or delete data as required.
Key Features
- Automatic PII Detection: Scan issues, attachments, and tickets/pages for sensitive data.
- Custom Rules & Alerts: Define your own DLP templates and policies.
- Cloud-Native Security: Protect Jira and Confluence Cloud data.
- Audit Logs: Get automated audit logs to keep track of data that is redacted, masked, etc.
7. App Access and Governance Workflow
Automate and Control Access with Compliance-Ready Workflows
Access management for multiple applications be it SaaS based or identity sources is often bogged down by manual processes, relying on emails and spreadsheets that cause delays and inconsistencies in decision-making. The App Access and Governance Workflow simplifies and automates access requests, approvals, and provisioning, replacing outdated methods with a streamlined, compliant end-to-end solution. This app centralizes the entire access governance process, reducing manual effort, enhancing security, and ensuring compliance.
How It Works
Users submit access requests via Jira Service Management portal, which are automatically routed to the appropriate approvers. Approvers can review and approve or deny requests with a single click. Once approved, access is provisioned immediately, with every action logged for auditing and governance.
Key Features
- Automated Access Requests through Jira Service Management
- Streamlined Approval Workflow aligned with company policies
- Automatic Provisioning once access is approved
