Atlassian-bot is a bot in the AI crawlers category, operated by Atlassian.
atlassian-bot is a crawler for custom 3P websites that indexes data for rovo search
AI crawlers collect web pages in bulk to build training data for large language models and other AI systems. They take content without sending visitors back. Most publishers block them in robots.txt or at the WAF unless they have a licensing deal with the operator.
Atlassian-bot identifies itself with this user agent string:
atlassian-botAnyone can copy a user agent string. Transfon Security also checks where each request comes from, so a request that claims to be a known crawler but comes from the wrong network is treated as a fake, not as the real crawler.
We have not confirmed whether Atlassian-bot follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.
User-agent: atlassian-bot Disallow: /
User-agent: atlassian-bot Disallow: /private/ Disallow: /search
User-agent: atlassian-bot Allow: /blog/ Disallow: /
User-agent: atlassian-bot Allow: / User-agent: * Disallow: /
User-agent: atlassian-bot group, Atlassian-bot ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.atlassian-bot from Atlassian-bot's user agent; check Atlassian's own documentation if it publishes a different robots.txt name.Treat robots.txt as a statement of your policy, and enforce it where requests arrive.
Atlassian-bot takes articles for AI training without sending readers back, and its page loads count as invalid traffic if your ad tags fire. Decide whether to license, limit or block it, and keep it out of ad requests.
Transfon Security for publishersVisits from Atlassian-bot to your landing pages are not people. Keep them out of conversion, retargeting and audience data so you do not pay to reach a crawler.
Transfon Security for advertisersAtlassian-bot can copy product descriptions, prices and reviews in bulk. Allow it on pages you want AI models to know about and block it on search, cart and account pages.
Transfon Security for e-commerceAtlassian-bot can fetch documentation and public app pages at scale. Rate limit it so it does not slow the product for paying users.
Transfon Security for SaaS and APIsrobots.txt is a request, not an enforcement. Transfon Security shows Atlassian-bot by name in the Top Bots report, so you can see how often it visits and which pages it reads. Block or allow it with a User Agent rule, or slow it down with a rate limit decision rule.

We have not confirmed whether Atlassian-bot follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.
Add "User-agent: atlassian-bot" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "atlassian-bot" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so Atlassian-bot may not follow it, and anyone can send Atlassian-bot's user agent, so a fake Atlassian-bot ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
