Manage your integrations and automations with service accounts

For: ADMINS

Service accounts are specialized, non-user accounts created for secure and efficient management of automated processes and external integrations. With service accounts, you can securely access REST APIs using the OAuth 2.0 authentication method to execute scripts and run tasks while maintaining full control of permissions. All actions performed by service accounts are tracked, providing visibility into their operations.

To set up a service account:

Go to Administration, then User management, then from the sidebar select Service accounts.
Select Create service account.
Follow the prompts to configure your service account’s details, scopes, and resources.
Generate your OAuth 2.0 credentials.
Review all the details and copy your credentials to a safe place.

Connect securely with OAuth 2.0 for app links

For: ADMINS

We're introducing OAuth 2.0 support for application links (app links) across Atlassian Data Center products. OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard authentication protocol that enables secure, modern, and reliable connections between Atlassian products and external applications. Learn how to create an app link

Download and install the Oracle driver if you use it as your database

Starting from version 9.0, Bitbucket Data Center no longer includes the Oracle database driver.

If your Bitbucket instance connects to an Oracle database, manually download and install the Oracle thin driver before starting your upgrade. If you skip this step, Bitbucket won’t be able to connect to your Oracle database after the upgrade.

Download the latest supported Oracle JDBC driver (ojdbc8.jar) directly from Oracle.
To install the driver in your Bitbucket installation directory, follow the steps in our Connect Bitbucket to Oracle.

Upgrade your internal apps

Before you upgrade your Bitbucket instance to 10.1.1, make sure you’ve upgraded your internal apps. For more details, check the Bitbucket Data Center upgrade guide.
