If I link a domain to my OKta policy will it prevent the current users from logging in
Welcome to the community!
Yes, linking a domain to your Okta IdP policy in Atlassian can prevent current local (non-SSO) users from logging in if they belong to that domain and you enforce SSO.
When you verify a domain (e.g., @yourcompany.com
) in Atlassian Admin > Security > Domains, and then link it to an Identity Provider (like Okta), you’re telling Atlassian:
“Users with emails ending in this domain must authenticate using this Identity Provider.”
So:
If SSO is enforced, then users must log in via Okta — no local login/password allowed.
If SSO is not enforced, users can choose to log in via Okta or using Atlassian credentials.
