# Atlassian

Atlassian provider setup and usage.



<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Get your Credentials

    1. Sign in to your Atlassian account and go to the [Atlassian Developer Console](https://developer.atlassian.com/console/myapps/)
    2. Click "Create new app"
    3. Fill out the app details
    4. Configure your redirect URI (e.g., `https://yourdomain.com/api/auth/callback/atlassian`)
    5. Note your Client ID and Client Secret

    <Callout type="info">
      * The default scope is `read:jira-user` and `offline_access`. For additional scopes, refer to the [Atlassian OAuth documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/oauth-2-3lo-apps/).
    </Callout>

    Make sure to set the redirect URI to match your application's callback URL. If you change the base path of the auth routes, you should update the redirect URI accordingly.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Configure the provider

    To configure the provider, you need to import the provider and pass it to the `socialProviders` option of the auth instance.

    ```ts title="auth.ts"
    import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"

    export const auth = betterAuth({
        socialProviders: {
            atlassian: { // [!code highlight]
                clientId: process.env.ATLASSIAN_CLIENT_ID as string, // [!code highlight]
                clientSecret: process.env.ATLASSIAN_CLIENT_SECRET as string, // [!code highlight]
            }, // [!code highlight]
        },
    })
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Sign In with Atlassian

    To sign in with Atlassian, you can use the `signIn.social` function provided by the client. The `signIn` function takes an object with the following properties:

    * `provider`: The provider to use. It should be set to `atlassian`.

    ```ts title="auth-client.ts"
    import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/client"
    const authClient =  createAuthClient()

    const signIn = async () => {
        const data = await authClient.signIn.social({
            provider: "atlassian"
        })
    }
    ```

    <Callout type="info">
      For more information about Atlassian's OAuth scopes and API capabilities, refer to the [official Atlassian OAuth 2.0 (3LO) apps documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/oauth-2-3lo-apps/).
