🌐 Cloud Migration Made Easier — With New Admin Security Controls for Jira Assets

[#1]

 With digital transformation high on every company’s agenda and the end of Atlassian Server support approaching fast, there’s no better time to plan your move to Atlassian Cloud.

More than a third of Atlassian Server customers have already migrated, and more are completing the journey every day. To support this, Atlassian continues to expand the Cloud Migration Assistants — free tools designed to simplify the process for Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.

🚀 Why Migration Assistants Matter

The Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA), Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant, and Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant have become the go-to method for most customers because they:

• Offer a clear, guided interface to track migration progress

• Include built-in app assessment and app data migration for many Marketplace apps

• Protect existing cloud data by validating issues before migration begins

• Support migrations across Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Jira Work Management, Advanced Roadmaps, Confluence, and Bitbucket

And Atlassian just made JCMA even more powerful.

🆕 New Feature: “Migrate All Data at Once”

The latest release of JCMA (v1.7.7+) introduces the ability to migrate all data at once — in addition to the project-by-project option.

This “all at once” capability:

• Matches what Site Import already supported

• Improves reliability, speed, and performance for full-scale migrations

• Will eventually replace Site Import as the default method for larger user bases

For now, the feature is tagged as Alpha, but it’s production-ready and supported by Atlassian’s SLAs.

🔐 New Admin Control Alert: Twinit App Update

As Atlassian strengthens its Data Security Policy with App Access Rules, admins now have even more control. Apps can be blocked from accessing Jira or Confluence data by default.

That’s a big security win — but it comes with one important step:

👉 If you’re using Insight Assets Backup & Migration, make sure to explicitly allow access in your App Access Rules.

Why? Because in order to back up or migrate your Jira Assets, the app needs secure access to:

• Assets schemas

• Object attributes & attachments

• Linked Jira issues

• Referenced relationships

🛡️ The good news?

Twinit is fully aligned with Atlassian’s strictest compliance standards. Our app runs on a zero-retention architecture — meaning your data is never stored on Twinit servers.

✅ Next Steps for Admins:

• Check your App Access Rules

• Whitelist Insight Assets Backup & Migration

• Run backups and migrations with full security confidence

🌟 Wrapping Up

The combination of Atlassian’s improved migration tooling and Twinit’s secure, compliant apps means moving to Cloud is not only easier — it’s safer.

For Jira admins and IT leaders, this is the perfect time to:

• Plan your migration strategy

• Leverage the new “all data at once” migration option

• Fortify your setup with apps that comply with Atlassian Guard and App Access Rules

Because a future in Atlassian Cloud should be both powerful and protected.
