Multiple identity provider support now available in Cloud Enterprise

After 3 months of Early Access Program, with a group of 17 customers, Atlassian's Cloud Trust team announces the launch of Multiple identity provider feature in Cloud Enterprise.

If you're an enterprise customer, you can now use more than one identity provider at the same time to authenticate users in Atlassian products.

Why would you want to do that?
You can maintain different providers per department to meet data residency requirements for each zone to have a specific identity provider.
Or when acquiring a new company, this lets you quickly embed the team into your setup, without having to immediately change their identity provider accounts to the same your company uses.

If you need this and are on the enterprise plan, give it a try now and let us know what you think.

Introducing Confluence Pages in Jira Work Management

And to continue the news about upgrades to Atlassian products. Jira Work Management is getting new features too.

Now you'll be able to find a "Pages" tab in your Jira Work Management projects. There you can connect existing pages to your projects or create new ones from scratch.

This is great for creating a directory of all important project documents like north start, project statement, goals, meeting notes and so on.

So if you're using Confluence and Jira Work Management go and give it a try. It's definitely going to make your and your team's life easier.
