Prevent your team from using new Bitbucket workspaces without your approval

You can now proactively manage product requests for Bitbucket from admin.atlassian.com. This feature provides you with more oversight to control Shadow IT and billing.

After you select admin review required, you can approve or deny new Bitbucket requests from your managed accounts. This gives you greater control over where your team does their work.

This is available for Bitbucket as part of a beta program. It’s also available for Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Trello with an Enterprise subscription.

More about product requests

To manage product requests for Bitbucket:

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Product requests.
3. Select Request settings. If this is your first time updating these settings, you may need to select Update request settings.
4. Next to Bitbucket, select Require admin review under the Request setting dropdown.

The next time one of your managed accounts tries to sign up for a product, they’ll receive a prompt to enter a reason for their request. After they create the request, all organization admins receive an email, letting them know someone created a request.
