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.
