Changing SSO providers for Atlassian Cloud

[Richard Huffman]

Hello, we have an existing installation which was at first used a paid SAML plugin for user provisioning (not user access control so no group management, I believe this might have been Atlassian Access at the time), and when that trial expired we fell back on signing in with Google, as GSuite is an extensive part of our infrastructure and we control access to our GSuite domain via Okta.  Now there is a push from management to use Okta SCIM for provisioning and access, and looking at documentation for using Okta SCIM with Atlassian Cloud, I do not see any references to the impact this would have on an existing ( ~120 users ) user base.  Do you know where I could find more information?

Hi @Richard Huffman 

Not something I've tried before - but have you reviewed this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/configure-user-provisioning-with-okta-957492956.html

Thank you!

Hi @Richard Huffman -

Did you end up switching from Gsuite to Okta SCIM and was there any impact?

Thanks

We did, and it works fine.  We haven't transitioned groups yet, but we have few enough that there hasn't been any pressure to explore it.  That may change as our adoption grows.  Sorry for the delayed reply!
