    • We collect Jira Service Desk feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Service Desk Server. Using JIRA Service Desk Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Some customers have a large number of customers that they would like to access JIRA Service Desk, but instead of using the JIRA Internal Directory, they would like to utilize Crowd to manage their users. This is most relevant when they want their users to authenticate via Crowd SSO. Currently, they cannot do this and still benefit from agent based pricing. Crowd does not recognize Service Desk Customers as a distinct and separate group from regular JIRA users.

      Atlassian Status

      Atlassian Crowd is a separate product and therefore if you wish to use Crowd for SSO, you will need to purchase a Crowd license that is large enough for your user base. Customers in JIRA Service Desk, while free in JIRA Service Desk, will consume a license in Crowd.

      A suggestion to to enable both remote Crowd and local authentication in JIRA has been created. Please vote and comment on this issue to communicate your need for a feature such as this JSD-1244

            I guess it's time to implement Jasig CAS. About to abandon Atlassian Crowd ... I haven't tried it, but perhaps the Jasig CAS plug-ins will also allow for Internal Directory authentication? It's a long exercise just to find out...but might be worth doing....

            One of the issues with Jasig CAS is I don't think there are plug-ins for Stash and Bamboo. The blogs just talk about Jira + Confluence + Jasig CAS

            Atlassian,

            Telling us to spend $8000/year on crowd server just so we can have SSO is not an option.

            Why do you keep blowing off these requests and closing these tickets without consideration?
