How to Synchronize Profile Data to the User Profile in Jira or Confluence

With User Sync it is possible to synchronize profile data from an identity cloud provider to the user profile in your Atlassian product.

Limitations

Not all fields in an IdP user profile might be supported, for instance the manager field in Azure AD isn't.

Goal

After following this guide, you can find user details from the identity provider in the user profile.

Jira

You can add as many user properties as you want in Jira, they'll be displayed under User Properties in the user profile:
