Step-by-Step Guides




Which Step-by-Step Guide should you pick?

Depending on your Atlassian Data Center or Server product, you can choose from different user provisioning models. We recommend using Just-In-Time provisioning since it automatically creates users when they log in.


In general, for Atlassian we support the following ways for user provisioning:

  1. Just in Time Provisioning allows you to create and update users on-the-fly when they log in. 
  2. For Manual User Management, the administrator has to create and update users on your Atlassian Data Center or Server product by hand.
    We do not recommend it. See our article for Manual User Management.
