In today’s interconnected business environment, effective project management isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential. Products like Atlassian Jira have become go-to platforms for managing workflows and tracking progress. However, as companies adopt these powerful tools, they must also be vigilant about managing who has access to what, confirming that sensitive project data is secure.
We’re excited to announce the integration of Oracle Access Governance with Atlassian Jira, bringing the power of identity governance to the project management ecosystem.
Just as strong foundations are crucial for a sturdy building, robust cyber hygiene is essential for businesses, and that includes collaborative project management tools like Jira. As project teams grow, with different roles and shifting priorities, maintaining oversight of who can access which projects, tasks, and sensitive information is critical.
Without strong identity governance, organizations can run into the following challenges:
Oracle Access Governance is designed to provide comprehensive, automated identity governance and administration for organizations of all sizes. In a dynamic project management environment like Atlassian Jira, Access Governance simplifies access provisioning through various access controls and helps enforce these access controls without delay. This integration boasts the following key features:
Jira is known for its flexibility and scalability in managing tasks, projects, and workflows. But as the user base grows, managing access rights can become increasingly complex. The integration with Oracle Access Governance helps organizations to fully automate and control access, so that project permissions are managed securely and efficiently. It offers the following benefits:
Imagine a large tech company where a senior developer is temporarily assigned to a high-priority project. The developer needs quick access to Jira, but only for a specific set of issues related to the project. With Access Governance’s access control mechanism, automated access immediately grants the developer essential access based on their role within the organization. For project-specific access, the system automatically provisions additional permissions based on the developer's project assignment.
When the project ends, both the project-specific access and any temporary permissions are automatically revoked, while maintaining the developer’s baseline access. This system helps eliminating the risk of permissions hoarding and permission creep, enabling security to remain up to date. This level of automation significantly reduces the burden on IT teams, while allowing project managers to focus on delivering results without worrying about access control gaps.
The Oracle Access Governance integration with Atlassian Jira transforms identity governance within project management workflows, providing visibility and automation across the entire ecosystem. This integration automates identity orchestration, helping enhance security, streamline operations, and address compliance with minimal manual effort.
As organizations increasingly rely on platforms like Jira for project success, securing access at every stage becomes crucial. With Oracle Access Governance, companies can confidently manage their teams, mitigate risks, and maintain full control over their project data, enabling them to achieve greater operational efficiency and security.
