Hi @Marcel Vellage ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!

When you integrate Atlassian Access with Azure AD and provisioned the Accounts it will get automatically changed.

If you configures authentication policy and enables SSO then it will redirect you and users to authenticated through Azure AD.

Note: In order to perform the Integration with Azure AD and enable SSO, you would need to procure Atlassian Access that is another separate Atlassian Product.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,
Mayur

Hi Mayur,

thank you very much. Is there any lokal AD needed?

Best regards

Marcel

@Marcel Vellage what do you mean by local AD.

[Marcel Vellage]

You can have an only local Active Directory, you can have an only Azure Active Directory and you can have a hybrid Active Directory

[Mayur Jadhav]

Understood, If you have Azure AD then it more than enough to integrate.

Hello, @Marcel Vellage 

In Atlassian Cloud users are identified by their email.

If the users are already using the emails from Azure AD, when you integrate (via Atlassian Access):

- for SSO nothing really changes, they enter their email, they get redirected to Azure AD to login, they login, they get redirected back

- for User Provisioning, Azure AD pushes users to Atlassian Cloud, those that have the same email get automatically "matched"/"connected" i.e. also nothing special will happen

I do suggest you review my answers on how to set it all up correctly here:
