terraform-provider-atlassian

Terraform/OpenTofu provider for managing Atlassian Cloud (Jira + Confluence) configuration as infrastructure as code. Supports projects, permission schemes, workflows, issue types, custom fields, screens, roles, and Confluence spaces — with full import and drift detection.

View on Terraform Registry — full documentation, installation instructions, and version history.

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.0 or OpenTofu >= 1.6
• Go >= 1.25 (for development only)

Installation

terraform {
  required_providers {
    atlassian = {
      source  = "lbajsarowicz/atlassian"
      version = "~> 0.1"
    }
  }
}

Note: Terraform and OpenTofu resolve lbajsarowicz/atlassian to their respective registries automatically. Lock files will differ between the two tools because the signing chains are different.

Authentication

Attribute	Environment Variable	Description
url	ATLASSIAN_URL	Atlassian Cloud instance URL (e.g., https://mysite.atlassian.net)
user	ATLASSIAN_USER	Account email for API authentication

Provider configuration takes precedence over environment variables.
