Calling on all workspace Admins - Connect your Bitbucket workspace to an Atlassian organization

[#1]

Hello Bitbucket Community,

We are significantly enhancing Bitbucket Cloud by deepening its integration with the Atlassian platform, providing our customers with a more unified experience across all our cloud products. Our primary goal is to enable administrators within your Atlassian organization to eventually manage Bitbucket Cloud users, permissions, and billing alongside your other Atlassian products, all directly within Atlassian Administration. Furthermore, this centralizes your organization's content to unlock enhanced benefits with Atlassian AI.

In order do achieve this, as a first step, we require that your Bitbucket workspace, that is currently on Standard or Premium plan, is linked to an Atlassian organization in Atlassian Administration. Please complete this by September 2nd, 2025 to ensure that you get future benefits of this integration.

Who needs to take action?
If you’re an admin of a Bitbucket Cloud workspace that is on Standard or Premium plan, please link your workspace to your company’s Atlassian organization.

Note: To link your workspace to an Atlassian organization, you need to be a Bitbucket workspace admin and an Atlassian organization admin.

Please follow the steps in Add a new Atlassian app to your organization | Atlassian Support or use the instructions below to link your Bitbucket workspace to an Atlassian organization.

If you are a Bitbucket workspace admin and an Atlassian organization admin

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com.

2. Select the organization you would want to link your workspace to. (Note: Please only select the workspaces that you want to be part of your organization as you will not be able unlink them later.)

3. On the top navigation bar, select Apps.

4. In the upper-right corner, select … and then select Link Bitbucket from the dropdown menu.

5. Follow the prompts and pay close attention to any messages provided or actions you may need to take.

6. Select the workspace you want to link to your Atlassian organization. Note: You can only link one workspace at a time.

7. Confirm that this is the workspace you would want to link and give the process some time to complete.

8. Refresh the Apps view to see the newly added workspace on the list of available apps.

If you are a Bitbucket workspace admin but not an Atlassian organization admin

1. You will need to reach out to your organization’s admin.

2. Either ask them to make you an org admin, or follow the steps provided below to add them as a workspace admin to your workspace so they can complete the linking process.

   1. Go to Workspace settings.

   2. Select User groups.

   3. Select the group with the Admin lozenge associated with it.

   4. Select Add members in the upper-right corner.

   5. Enter the user’s email (or multiple emails if sending to multiple administrators).

   6. Select Confirm.

   7. The user(s) will receive an invitation email to join the workspace as an admin.

3. Once those steps are completed, they can follow the steps outlined in the “If you are a Bitbucket workspace admin and an Organization admin” section above to link your workspace to an Atlassian organization.

Not sure if you already have an Atlassian organization?

1. You can verify whether or not you have an organization already linked to Atlassian Administration by going to https://admin.atlassian.com/.

2. To create a new organization, follow the steps outlined in our help documentation.

3. Once the org is created, follow the steps outlined in the section “If you are a Bitbucket workspace admin and an Organization admin” to link your workspace to an Atlassian organization.

We are asking all our customers on a paid plan to complete this linking by September 2, 2025. Remember, that linking a workspace to an Atlassian organization cannot be undone. By taking this step, you ensure that as an Administrator you have visibility and enable future unified user management and billing across all Atlassian products in one place.

Eligibility

Only workspaces that are eligible to be linked will appear in the list under ‘Select a workspace to link’.

If your workspace isn’t listed, it’s not yet eligible. Don’t worry—you’ll receive a notification when it becomes eligible.

For our customers with Atlassian organizations that are still on separate user management (or original user management), please follow this public feature request

AX-472 

to get progress updates on when your organization will be able to benefit from managing your users across all your Atlassian Cloud products in a unified manner.
