This guide is for understanding how to configure user management in Atlassian Applications. System administrators planning a large scale deployment should refer to this guide to ensure their user management is as efficient as possible.
These are the most common questions for administrators starting out with Atlassian applications
The User Management Goals guide answers the following:
- Can I use other technologies for my user directories - Google Apps, OAuth Providers, SAML?
- What are my options in Atlassian Cloud?
- What are some common scenarios for user management?
When deploying Atlassian applications, user management is an important thing to consider. What works best will depend on your environment and goals.

- When should I turn on External User Management?
- When should I use a Delegated Directory?
- When should I use a connector?
- When should I use JIRA for centralised User Management?
- When should I use Crowd for centralised User Management?
This section covers how to understand and correctly setup an LDAP directory in your Atlassian Applications.
The LDAP Configuration Guide includes answers to the following:
- Understanding your directory structure
- How strict should my base DN be?
- When should I use a user or group filter?

These are common problems users report - and may be a sign your configuration is not optimal.
