Shadow IT Controls for Bitbucket

4 posts · Feb 2024 – Sep 2024

What this trail covers

Bitbucket Cloud is enhancing its security controls by allowing workspace admins to prevent users from creating new Bitbucket workspaces without approval. This feature, available on the Bitbucket Premium plan, expands the existing 'product requests' functionality to Bitbucket, building upon similar controls for Jira, Confluence, and JSM. Admins can configure a policy in Atlassian Admin to 'Require admin review' or 'Allow new products'. When 'Require admin review' is selected, users must submit a request for admin approval before a new workspace can be created.

All Atlassian trails
  1. Introducing increased control over forking in Bitbucket CloudIntroduces a new workspace setting to prevent private repositories from being forked outside the workspace. This setting is configurable by workspace admins and aims to enhance privacy and control over sensitive code.
  2. [New in Premium] Enforce private content in your workspacesThis post introduces the ability for workspace admins to enforce that all projects and repositories created within a private workspace are private. This is achieved by enabling a 'Do not allow public content inside this workspace' setting in Workspace settings. If existing content is public, users will be prompted to change it to private before enabling the setting. Changes to content privacy and creation are tracked in audit logs.
  3. Unified user management is generally available for new Bitbucket Cloud workspaces!This post announces the general availability of unified user management for new Bitbucket Cloud workspaces. This feature integrates Bitbucket user, group, and product access management into Atlassian Admin, allowing for centralized management of users across Atlassian tools. It also enables connection to external identity providers (Okta, Azure AD) via Atlassian Access, enhancing security and enterprise-grade authentication. The rollout is phased, starting with new workspaces, with existing workspaces planned for 2025. Instructions for creating new workspaces within Atlassian Admin are provided.
