1.6 Use Cases Supported by the Connector

The Jira is used to integrate Oracle Identity Governance with Jira to ensure that all Jira accounts are created and deactivated on an integrated cycle with the rest of the identity-aware applications in your enterprise. The Jira supports management of identities for Cloud Identity, Synchronized Identity, and Federated Identity models of Jira. In a typical IT scenario, an organization using Oracle Identity Governance wants to manage accounts, groups across Jira Cloud Service. The following are some of the most common scenarios in which this connector can be used:

  • Jira User Management:

An organization using Jira wants to integrate with Oracle Identity Governance to manage identities. The organization wants to manage its user identities by creating them in the target system using Oracle Identity Governance. The organization also wants to synchronize user identity changes performed directly in the target system with Oracle Identity Governance. In such a scenario, a quick and an easy way is to install the Jira and configure it with your target system by providing connection information.

To create a new user in the target system, fill in and submit the OIM process form to trigger the provisioning operation. The connector executes the CreateOp operation against your target system and the user is created on successful execution of the operation.

To search or retrieve the user identities, you must run a scheduled task from Oracle Identity Governance. The connector will run the corresponding SearchOp against the user identities in the target system and fetch all the changes to Oracle Identity Governance

  • Jira Group Management:

An organization has a number of Jira Groups allowing its users to set up new groups, manage memberships, and delete groups. The organization now wants to know the list of groups that have not been recently accessed or who have inactive members. In such a scenario, you can use the Jira to highlight the usage trend for groups. By using Jira, you can leverage the reporting capabilities of Oracle Identity Governance to track any operations (such as create, search, delete) performed on groups.
