Unable to view active users in LDAP bitbucket

[Rick Dienel]

We have purchased the starter package for our self-hosted Bitbucket server. Bitbucket is reporting that there are 13 users, and thus we are out of compliance for the starter license. 

We have enabled LDAP authentication for this server.

I am unable to view the actual user list because of the 80,000+ ldap users are being shown in the administration->accounts/Users section.

There are really two questions I have: 

1: How does the administrator control who has logins to the Bitbucket server, e.g. we need to grant the ability have repositories to limited users, for license management, if nothing else.

2: How do we limit the number of users displayed when using LDAP authentication?

Hi Richard,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You can go to your Global Permissions and see who have access to Bitbucket. Any user that belongs to your default Bitbucket user group will count towards your license. Also note that individual users that is not part of the group but is given Bitbucket User permission counts. So if you have 9 users in a group and two users under the User access, and are not part of the group, you are using 11 licenses in total.

The user list cannot be sorted to only show who have access to Bitbucket, the only way you can do it is to go to either Groups or Global Permissions and click on the group to see the members.

This makes sense, and I'll have a new group created to limit the number of users. I had used one of our generic groups, and this resulted in the overage.

Until then, I guess we'll need to disable LDAP, and just have Stash users.

Thanks again
