Is it possible so turn off SSO for some users on Atlassian Access?

[Harry Bob]

Hello,

We use Atlassian Access for SSO for our JSD. Is it possible to have SSO turned off for some users?

[Hazwan Ariffin · Accepted solution]

Nope, that's not possible. Basically, the SSO would cover all Atlassian Accounts that are on the verified domain. We can have it turned off for certain users. See the explanation by the Atlassian PM here 

Atlassian's support for SAML SSO for our cloud products is available with Atlassian Access. It is configurable for an entire organization and is based on the domains associated with that organization. It applies to all users for the verified domain, regardless of which site or Atlassian product they are accessing. 

However, the good thing is that there's a feature request for this:

• ACCESS-764: It would be good to have the ability to exclude accounts from the domain claim 
• ACCESS-605: Allow managing security policies per cloud instance 

Let's watch this and see if this ever gets implemented!

For all recent searchers!

It is possible now via Authentication Policies:

You just have to create another policy for your subset of users.
