File exports for identity providers

File exports for identity providers

These guides assume that you have set up and configured one of the supported Identity Providers, currently Microsoft Entra ID.

If your company prefers that user management across different software installations is handled in one central IDP, Kantega User Management & License Optimizer has two options to support keeping the local Jira/Confluence user base in sync with the central IDP.

  1. Manage all product access groups in Atlassian: Shift your licensing groups to be managed directly through Atlassian.

  2. Set up an identity provider (IDP) within the app: By configuring an IDP, our User Cleanup app can generate CSV files listing users who need to be removed from an identity group. You can then remove these users using scripts or the IDP’s bulk removal tools.

This guide explains how to do option 2 for the currently supported IDPs:

File export in Microsoft Entra ID

    Having Entra Id in configured IDPs enables CSV export option in Cleanup creation form

  2. Select Microsoft Entra ID action in the cleanup creation form.

  3. Go to the Scheduling and Cleanup page -> History Export data button for the cleanup in question

    • A Dialog appears

  4. Click on the Identity provider exports option if it exists

    • If it does not exist the cleanup did not have any users that should be affected in the cleanup.

  5. Download the CSVs for the groups you would want to do bulk actions on the users

 

Bulk remove users from groups Entra ID through the interface

  • Go to portal.azure.com login to your org. Go to the Group you want to remove the user from. It should have the same name in Atlassian and Entra ID.
