Important Update Effective February 1, 2024!
Due to recent changes in Jira and Confluence, we've made the tough decision to discontinue the OpenID Connect (OIDC)/OAuth app and no longer provide new versions for the newest Jira/Confluence releases as of January 31, 2024.
This is due to some necessary components no longer shipping with Jira/Confluence, which would require some extensive rewrites of the OIDC App.
2.0.x release notes
What's new
Did you like what we did to SAML 4.0? With User Sync 2.0 we took the best new features from SAML 4.0 and ported them to User Sync:
- We integrated our new attribute mapping to provide a new powerful tool to map attributes from your Identity Provider to your Atlassian application.
- The new engine comes with built-in presets for specific transformations. In other words, common annoying problems now have easy solutions.
- And if our built-in transformations are not enough, you can write custom Groovy scripts.
Please see UserSync 2.0 - Features, Highlights, and the Advanced Attribute Mapping for a detailed overview.
Upgrade Consideration
- User Sync 2.0 is a major update. Please make sure to have backups.
- We changed how connectors are identified internally. Instead of numeric ids, we now use unique identifiers. Here's why you may care: any existing scripts that use our private API should be reviewed.
- We have introduced a new configuration with a lot of structural changes. Again, make sure to update any scripts that use UserSync configurations.
- If you have any problems after upgrading to version 2.0 you can always go back to the 1.9 release with your old configuration. The old configuration is preserved during the upgrade and is available again as soon as you downgrade to 1.9.
Doubts or issues? Contact us and we'll help you upgrade.

Enhanced attribute mapping
- New transformations in addition to regular expressions:
- common transformations as presets (e.g. convert Azure guest users or strip email domains)
- new transformations such as splitting attribute values by separator
- build your own magic - custom transformations with Groovy scripts.
- Transformations can use data from the SAML response (when used within SAML Single Sign-On) and the existing user's attributes when updating users
- Transformations can be tested within the admin UI EXPERIMENTAL
- Change the directory for a connector EXPERIMENTAL
Improvements to the Administration UI
- New and improved user interface
- integrated tutorial videos
- We know Cron expressions are your frenemies, so we've shipped a new visual builder
- new attribute mapping (see above)
- You can now create a support ticket directly from the admin UI
New SCIM 2.0 Connector EXPERIMENTAL
This connector allows you to use the SCIM 2.0 protocol for user provisioning.
New Groovy Connector EXPERIMENTAL
We don't support your identity provider yet? Use the groovy connector to write a custom integration with your identity provider. Please contact us at https://www.resolution.de/go/support if you are interested.
Other general changes
- Use persistent unique identifiers for connectors instead of numeric ids
- Additional data can be passed to a connector when syncing single users
- Improved connector authorization for Google Cloud Identity (formerly G Suite). Share a link with your Google admin.
Bugfixes
- Deleting connector does not unschedule sync jobs:
- When deleting an existing sync job, we forgot to clean up the scheduled task. Sorry about that.
- Azure: Fixed bug when fetching managers
