The set up is as easy as 1-2-3. And best of all it is a set and forget plug-in: Once you've configured User Management it will perform the configured actions at a specified time of day, reoccurring at a specified interval.
No more boring user management work, no more security holes, no more wasted licenses.
There are several reasons why you should consider purchasing User Management from TechTime Initiative Group.
Lower licensing costs
Every active user in your Atlassian application counts towards your license user limit.
User Management allows you to automatically and cleanly deactivate or delete all those users who have not logged in for a defined period of time.
Fewer active users can mean lower licensing costs.
Security
User Management allows you to maintain a clean user base across your organisation by pruning your user directories effectively, efficiently and regularly.
No more "active" users, who have left the organisation a long time ago and no one told you.
No more active accounts for external vendors who have finished their work six months ago.
No more forgotten elevated access permissions for a project lead of a long-disbanded project.
Agile organisation
With Agile cross-functional teams being established for the duration of the specific project and disbanded once the project has been delivered, active management of user-group memberships and user-access permissions is becoming more and more important.
Internal users from different areas of your business need to have the correct permissions to be able to work together, external contractors and/or vendors need to be able to participate in your internal system for ease of collaboration.
User Management allows you to easily provide all users with the relevant permissions in bulk, review, and remove the permissions once the work is done. Be Agile in a safe way.
Convenience
Currently, Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket do not allow you to regularly cull your user base automatically.
Without User Management
If you want to do regular checks you will have to do the checks manually. Currently, there is no ability to set an automatic routine, meaning a Jira admin with the highest permissions will have to spend time reviewing all users recorded in your user databases of Jira. And then do the same thing all over again for Confluence.
If you want to check on users you will have to check on them individually, including when they last logged in. There is currently no easy way to find out login information in bulk. A JQL query can't help you there!
If you want to move users from groups, delete them or deactivate them you have to do so individually. Again, there is no easy ability to perform these actions in bulk.
And lastly, you need to somehow record your actions, manually and per user.
Any solutions that we know of require custom coding, direct SQL queries, and outages. Why re-invent the wheel if we already have it?
With User Management
With User Management you can do all this more effectively, efficiently, and consistently.
You can:
- Set a scheme, e.g. 'deactivate all users who have not logged in for 90 days', set it to run daily at 3 am and let the machine do the work.
- Read about the actions in the logs or get a report sent to you, the security team, HR, and the Support Services team via email automatically - without you having to lift a finger.
- Easily bulk edit users. Delete or deactivate them - all in one easy go and not the current cumbersome way.
- Easily move users into different user groups, remove them from one group, add them to another group. Easily, efficiently, cleanly.
