Thanks for your understanding.


Starting with SAML Single Sign On for JIRA/Confluence 0.14.2 we further refined the functionality around User & Group membership provisioning. Based on your Feedback, the following has been added/changed:

  1. Existing local Users, that were not created from the Plugin can be updated now. 
     
  2. We added a new Option "Remove from Groups" function that can enabled to force (or disabled to prevent) removal from local Groups during the login. On the last version 0.14.1 the deletion from group was enabled on default.
     

The release for 0.14.3/2 JIRA/Confluence is not officially published yet. At the moment we provide pre-releases to test.

You can download the current versions here :


The two new functions can be enabled/disabled with their own checkboxes:


  


Please be careful if you enable both functions simultaneously. Then the plugin will update every User (including the one's not created by it) at the time the user logs in, to exactly match the group membership transmitted by the IdP. So any Group assignments you have done manually in Confluence/JIRA will be removed, with no option to rollback (other than doing manual assignments again for every affected User)
