Step-by-Step Guides

Based on your user provisioning model, pick one of the following step-by-step guides.

  • PingOne with Just-in-Time Provisioning
    Setting up authentication via SAML with PingOne and using Just-in-Time Provisioning to create/update User Accounts during login.

  • PingOne with Manual Provisioning
    Setting up authentication via SAML with PingOne for Users that already exist in the Atlassian product.
  • Fisheye only supports Manual User Management.



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.


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

  1. Just in Time Provisioning allows creating and updating users on the fly when they log in. See our detailed article for JIT.
  2. LDAP synchronization from Active Directory. Your instance is still synchronized to your Active Directory via LDAP, you can continue to do so. Please follow the "Manual User Management" Guide in this scenario.
  3. For Manual User Management, the administrator has to create and update users on PingOne and your Atlassian Data Center or Server product by hand.
    We do not recommend it. See our article for Manual User Management.
