# Bitbucket Cloud

To allow users to log in with Bitbucket Cloud credentials, you need to use an [OAuth consumer](https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/use-oauth-on-bitbucket-cloud/) and set the authentication settings in SonarQube Server. See the following sections for more on setting up authentication.

## Setting your OAuth consumer settings <a href="#setting-your-oauth-consumer-settings" id="setting-your-oauth-consumer-settings"></a>

Create your OAuth consumer in your Bitbucket Cloud workspace settings and specify the following:

* **Name**: The name of your OAuth consumer.
* **Callback URL:** Your SonarQube Server instance URL.
* **Permissions**:
  * **Account**: **Read** and **Email** access.
  * **Workspace membership**: **Read** access.

## Setting your authentication settings in SonarQube Server <a href="#setting-your-authentication-settings-in-sonarqube" id="setting-your-authentication-settings-in-sonarqube"></a>

To set your global authentication settings, navigate to **Administration > Configuration > General Settings > Authentication > Bitbucket Cloud Authentication** and update the following settings:

* **Enabled**: Set to true.
* **OAuth consumer key**: Enter the **Key** from your OAuth consumer page in Bitbucket.
* **OAuth consumer secret**: Enter the **Secret** from your OAuth consumer page in Bitbucket.
* **Allow users to sign up**: enable to allow new users to authenticate. When disabled, only existing users will be able to authenticate to the server.
* **Workspaces**: Only users from Bitbucket Workspaces that you add here will be able to authenticate in SonarQube Server. This is optional but *highly* recommended to ensure only the users you want to log in with Bitbucket credentials are able to.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the allowed workspaces are not entered, any user with a BitBucket account can log in to the SonarQube Server instance, assuming **Allow users to sign up** is set to true.
{% endhint %}
