Effortless User and Group Sync for miniOrange

The User & Group Sync app syncs user and group information from miniOrange to Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket. Syncing user group attributes will sync user details such as groups, users, and directories. Sync can be performed manually or scheduled to run after set time intervals. By doing so, the administrator only has to manage user accounts in miniOrange. As a result, Atlassian modules such as Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket require less admin time to create users and groups.
