Set up a Confluence connector

ConductorOne provides identity governance for Confluence. Integrate your Confluence instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

Availability

General availability. The Confluence connector is available to all ConductorOne users.

Capabilities

  • Sync user identities from Confluence to ConductorOne

  • Resources supported:

    • Groups

Add a new Confluence connector

This task requires either the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

  1. In ConductorOne, open Admin and click Connectors > Add connector.

  2. Search for Confluence and click Add.

  3. Choose whether to add the new Confluence connector as a data source to an existing application (and select the app of your choice) or to create a new application.

    Do you SSO into Confluence using your identity provider (IdP)? If so, make sure to add the connector to the Confluence app that was created automatically when you integrated your IdP with ConductorOne, rather than creating a new app.

  1. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    A Confluence connector owner must have the following permissions:

    • Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
    • Administrator access in Confluence
  1. Click Next.

Next steps

  • If you are the connector owner, proceed to Configure your Confluence connector for instructions on integrating Confluence with ConductorOne.

  • If someone else is the connector owner, ConductorOne will notify them by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

Configure your Confluence connector

A user with the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne and Administrator access in Confluence must perform this task.

Step 1: Create an API token

  1. Log into your Confluence account with Administrator access.

  2. Navigate to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.

  3. Click Create API token.

  4. Give your token a label, such as ConductorOne, and click Create.

  5. Carefully copy the newly generated API token. We’ll use it in Step 2.

Step 2: Add your Confluence credentials to ConductorOne

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to the Confluence connector by either:

    • Clicking the Set up connector link in the email you received about configuring the connector.

    • Navigate to Admin > Connectors > Confluence (if there is more than one Confluence listed, click the one with your name listed as owner and the status Not connected).

  2. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  3. Enter your Confluence domain (the URL of your Confluence instance is <YOUR DOMAIN>.atlassian.net) into the Confluence site domain field.

  4. Enter the username for your Confluence account in the Username field.

  5. Paste the API token you generated in Step 1 into the API key field.

  6. Click Save.

  7. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Confluence connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Configure the Confluence integration using Terraform

As an alternative to the integration process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between Confluence and ConductorOne.

See the ConductorOne Confluence integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
