Connect Azure AD with JIRA

[meet.darji]

Hey Folks,

I need some help and your valuable suggestions.

Atlassian Setup I have:

1. Atlassian Access (Guard) 
2. JIRA premium
3. Confluence premium

For User Accounts:

1. Azure AD 

I want to connect my AD with the Atlassian User directory simply. but the catch is I have many existing users added in Jira who are similar to Azure AD. I don't want to duplicate them on sync so better is not to add a user in user provisioning. I only want to disable the user in Jira if the same user is disabled in Azure AD. 

I need some suggestions on the configuration.

Hi @meet.darji 

Welcome to Atlassian Community. 

If you want you can try SAML SSO plugin which will provide the desired functionality which you are expecting. 

SAML SSO Single Sign On - Jira SSO OAuth + User Sync | Atlassian Marketplace

You can also integrate with crowd if you have for your desired requirement.
