As more organizations move to Atlassian Cloud—especially with Atlassian Data Center approaching end-of-life – the pressure to stay compliant, secure, and cost-efficient has never been higher. But the reality of managing thousands of users across multiple cloud sites, products, and directories often catches enterprises off guard.
That’s exactly why we hosted our latest webinar:
Driving Compliance and License Efficiency in Atlassian Cloud
Hosted by Frederike Häusel, Partner & Customer Success Manager at re:solution, and Christiaan Joubert, Marketing Specialist, this session takes a deep look at the challenges organizations face during and after cloud migration – and how the User Manager & License Optimizer app solves them at enterprise scale.
The full recording is now available on demand, and if you’re planning a migration or already managing users in Atlassian Cloud, this is a must-watch session.
The Hidden Challenge of Atlassian Cloud: User Chaos
The webinar begins by addressing the one challenge almost every enterprise encounters after migrating:
User management becomes messy – fast.
Most organizations operate multiple Atlassian Cloud sites:
Jira Software for engineering
Jira Service Management for ITSM
Confluence for documentation
Bitbucket for development
JPD for product discovery
Each site brings its own admins, groups, permissions, and license consumption. Without automation, this results in:
Inconsistent permissions
Duplicate or shadow accounts
Inactive users that quietly consume seats
High administrative overhead
Compliance risks due to lingering access
In fact, we frequently see 15-25% of licenses wasted simply because accounts aren’t deactivated or cleaned up in time.
As Frederike explains in the session:
“People who have left the company can still have access to Atlassian tools… and that’s a compliance problem waiting to happen.”
Introducing the Solution: User Manager & License Optimizer
To solve this growing complexity, we built User Manager & License Optimizer – a centralized, automated user governance tool for Atlassian Cloud.
Christiaan walks through how the app:
Consolidates users across all Atlassian Cloud products
Identifies inactive or redundant accounts
Optimizes license consumption with instant seat reclamation
Automates offboarding and permission cleanup
Provides audit-ready logs for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR
Enables bulk role updates, group changes, and suspensions
Delivers a single source of truth for admins across sites
This isn’t just a user management tool—it’s a governance framework built for Cloud scale.
The ROI: Real Cost Savings You Can Measure
License waste adds up quickly.
With Cloud Premium and Enterprise pricing, overspending of $250,000+ per year is not uncommon – especially when inactive users remain fully licensed.
In the webinar, we break down how:
License optimization saves 15–25% annually
Automation reduces manual admin work by up to 75%
Cloud migration becomes cleaner, safer, and faster when user directories are optimized beforehand
We also preview our upcoming ROI Calculator, which will help you estimate savings based on:
Plan tier
User volume
License distribution
Monthly vs annual billing
Custom configurations
Compliance at Scale: No More Access Creep
One of the biggest Cloud challenges is maintaining compliance across distributed teams and products.
As Christiaan explains:
“Manual user management leads to access creep – people keep permissions long after they need them.”
User Manager & License Optimizer prevents this through:
Automated offboarding
Real-time permission revocation
Centralized policy enforcement
Full change logs for every user action
Your security and audit teams get exactly what they need – without extra work.
The Perfect Timing: Why This Matters Now
With Data Center end-of-life approaching, enterprises are preparing for Cloud migration. And there’s no better time to optimize user directories and license consumption than before the move.
Frederike outlines a recommended workflow:
Use User Deactivator for Data Center (free during migration) to clean up unused licenses.
Migrate clean, optimized data into Atlassian Cloud.
Use User Manager & License Optimizer to maintain compliance and stay within user tiers long-term.
The earlier you implement structure and automation, the smoother and cheaper your Cloud journey becomes.
