SCIM provisioning with Okta

Take advantage of Okta’s Provisioning feature to grant access to Ziflow to your users automatically.

Updated over 10 months ago

The integration between Okta and Ziflow that enables this provisioning is built around an industry-standard protocol known as SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management). Please see this article to learn how Okta works with SCIM.

The remainder of this guide is focused on enabling you to configure both Ziflow and Okta to get provisioning up and running for your organization.


Prerequisites

SCIM-based user provisioning is available to Enterprise customers.

Before you set up SCIM in your Okta admin dashboard, please follow the guide on configuring the Okta SAML SSO connection with Ziflow.

Configuring SSO requires having admin access to the Ziflow account.
