The Atlassian Marketplace offers hundreds of free and paid plugins that enhance and extend Atlassian applications, including JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, Stash, Crucible, and FishEye.

You can get plugins from the Atlassian Marketplace website or from within your Atlassian application's administration interface. The UPM integrate the Marketplace into your Atlassian application administration interface.

The 'Find Plugin' page lets you browse the Atlassian Marketplace from the application interface. This 'in-product' view of the Marketplace provides several advantages. It tailors plugin browsing for your application, for example, showing only Confluence plugins if you are accessing Marketplace in Confluence. It also shows only those plugins that are supported in your version of the product, so that you do not install incompatible plugins.

Both administrators and non-administrator users can browse the Marketplace from the Atlassian application interface. Administrators can download and install plugins through the 'Find Plugins' page. End users can use a similar page to browse and discover plugins. However, instead of purchasing or downloading the plugins, they have the option of requesting particular plugins from their administrator. This gives day-to-day users of the application the ability to explore and discover the plugins that can help them do their job.

This page describes how administrator's find plugins and administer the plugin request feature. To see how non-administrators can find and request plugins from the Marketplace, see Requesting Plugins.

Finding and installing plugins from Atlassian Marketplace

You can install plugins directly from Atlassian Marketplace with UPM.

To add a plugin from the Atlassian Marketplace in UPM: 

  1. As a user with administrator privileges, navigate to the application's administration page and click the Find New Plugins link.

    If the link does not appear in the Configuration menu, make sure UPM is in online mode and the application is able to connect to the Internet through the network firewall.

    The plugin browser appears.

  2. Browse through the available plugins or search for a specific plugin by using either of the following methods:
    • In the Search the Marketplace box, enter a search string that matches the name or part of the name of the plugin.
    • Browse through the plugin list, optionally filtering plugins in the list by:
      • Activity status, such as most popular, top grossing, or recently added. 
      • Category, such as administration tools or project management tools.
      • Price, whether free, paid-via-Atlassian, or paid.
  3. To install a plugin, click either the Install button for free plugins, or the Buy Now or Free Trial button for paid plugins.
    Note: Not all plugins can be automatically installed. Some required manual installation. These plugins have a Download button instead of an Install button. For these plugins, you should refer to the plugin's installation instructions for more information.
    A confirmation message and the plugin details will appear when the plugin is installed successfully.
  4. If prompted, restart your application to have your change take effect. 

For paid plugins, UPM prompts you to get a license from MyAtlassian. After installing the plugin, you can disable, configure, and apply a license to a plugin from the details view for the plugin in the 'Manage Plugins' page. See the documentation specific for the plugin for additional setup and usage information for the plugin.

Viewing user requests

As described in the Requesting Plugins page, non-administrative users in your application can also browse plugins on the Marketplace. Instead of installing plugins they want, however, they can submit a request for the plugin. When a user submits a request, a notification appears in the plugin administration pages.  

To view and manage user requests:

  1. As a user with administrator privileges, click the Plugin Requests link from the application's administration menu.
    The page lists the plugins that users have requested, and the request count for each one.
  2. To see more information about a requested plugin, click on the plugin in the list.
    The details view for the plugin appears. It shows the messages that end users included in their request submissions.
  3. In the plugin request view, you can click: 
    • Buy Now to purchase the plugin.
    • Free Trial to get a trial license for the plugin.
    • Dismiss to clear the request count for the plugin and remove it from the Plugin Requests page.

Disabling user requests 

You can disable the user request feature, which removes the Atlassian Marketplace link from the interface that is visible to your application's end users. It also removes the 'Plugin Requests' page from the administration interface. 

Note that disabling user requests does not clear existing requests for plugins. If you re-enable the feature, previously submitted requests are still available. If you want to clear requests, you need to do so prior to disabling plugin requests, since the Plugin Requests page is not available once the feature is disabled..

To disable user plugin requests:

  1. As a user with administrator privileges, navigate to the Manage Plugins page.
  2. Click the Disable plugin requests link at the bottom of the page. 
  3. Confirm the operation when prompted.
    The Plugin Request item disappears from the administration menu, and the Atlassian Marketplace link is no longer available to non-administrative users. The link text changes to Enable plugin requests, which you can click to enable the feature again.
