In late July 2023, Information, Technology and Consulting (ITC) will be implementing Atlassian Access. This new access management component will have implications for Atlassian sites administered by someone using their Dartmouth email address.
SSO: Site administrators of cloud products will be able to request Single Sign-On (SSO). With SSO, users can log in to Atlassian cloud products using their existing Dartmouth credentials, reducing the need for multiple usernames and passwords. SSO improves user convenience and enhances security by eliminating the use of weak or duplicate passwords. Initially, Advancement IT will be the only department to use SSO with their Atlassian site. Please note that switching a site to SSO is an option for site administrators - it is not a requirement at this time.
Centralized user management: Atlassian Access allows Dartmouth to centrally manage user accounts across multiple Atlassian cloud products. This means that Atlassian Access administrators can easily provision and deprovision user accounts, control access permissions, and enforce security policies consistently across Atlassian tools.
Audit logs and reporting: Atlassian Access administrators will have access to logs to identify potential security breaches and investigate suspicious activities which helps Dartmouth maintain accountability and meet compliance requirements.
