Deciding on Authorization Methods for Bitbucket with Git for Confluence

Git for Confluence streamlines accessing and displaying private Bitbucket resources within Confluence, offering two authorization methods tailored to different needs: Individual Access (OAuth) and Managed Access (Token).

• Individual Access (OAuth): Users log in with their Bitbucket accounts via OAuth to share private Bitbucket repositories on Confluence pages. This user-centric approach facilitates easy access and sharing.
• Managed Access (Token): A centralized method where admins set up a global access token for Confluence to fetch content from Bitbucket repositories. It ensures controlled access and stable sharing, with shared Bitbucket content remaining accessible in Confluence as long as the token has access, unaffected by individual user account changes. Admins also manage which Confluence user groups can share private Bitbucket resources, aligning with internal security policies.
