Can't find User Directories

Brian Dufort June 18, 2019

I'm logged into Jira with Global Admin account.  I'm trying to locate the User Directories.  I've followed the online directions, but under Settings --> User Management, there is no User Directories tab/section!

We're on Version 7.13 server.

Sounds like you are a jira-administrator but not a jira-system-administrator. You'll need this global permission in order to see/edit User Directories

This sounds like an on-prem instance - I am on Cloud, and I am the owner of the account and have given myself every admin role I can see, I don't see a role as called out above in my list.

I have seen other posts that say Cloud users don't have access to that role, if true, then does that mean I can NOT use LDAP with Jira?  That doesn't sound right - what am I missing?

Thanks for any consideration

Hey @Joe Madden I think you can't link Cloud products with External LDAP other than Gsuite. Here's what Atlassian documentation said:

You can't link Atlassian Cloud products to another cloud or server site for user management. Instead, integrate your existing G Suite user directory with your Atlassian Cloud site, which makes domain and user management more flexible and manageable.

Monique - I appreciate the response - my focus is on Jira, and not Confluence, as the link above looks to be focused on - that said, I do appreciate your perspective.

Ah, you're right, here's the umbrella documentation about user management in Atlassian Cloud:

Looks like you'll have to subscribe to something called Atlassian Access first.

hello @Monique Khairuliana[ServiceRocket] 

 

I want to install Active directory but 

1) I can't see AD directory option in custom field as we use JIRA cloud
2) W e dont use MS Azure
3) Went to User Settings > Management > but unable to see "User Directory" option ( screenshot above )

I am the admin of JIRA ( highest access ) but can't see User directory option as well.

Can you please help me to integrate AD with JIRA, Thanks
