SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) enables your organization to automatically sync user identities and group memberships from your identity provider to GovAI. This ensures secure, efficient, and up-to-date access management.
What Is SCIM Integration?
SCIM integration streamlines the user provisioning process by connecting your Identity Provider (IdP), such as Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) or Okta, with GovAI. It allows for automated creation, updating, and removal of user accounts and groups based on your directory data.
Benefits of SCIM in GovAI
Automated User Management: Reduces the need for manual onboarding and offboarding of users.
Real-Time Synchronization: Changes in your IdP are reflected in GovAI without administrative intervention.
Enhanced Security: Ensures users only have access while they are authorized in your central directory.
Onboarding Support: New users created via SCIM automatically receive a welcome email from GovAI.
How to Set Up SCIM in GovAI
Enable SCIM: In the GovAI admin dashboard, toggle the SCIM setting to begin syncing users and groups.
Generate Configuration Link: Click “Generate SCIM Management Link” to access your one-time SCIM configuration panel.
Follow Provider Setup Guides:
Use the Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) or Okta setup guide linked in the SCIM Configuration Guides section.
Be sure to set the SCIM directory as the primary directory when configuring it in SSOReady.
Configure Optional Security Settings:
Group Creation: Disable this option if your groups are fully managed through SCIM.
SCIM Managed Attributes: When enabled, GovAI will manage specific user attributes and restrict manual changes. Attributes managed by SCIM are name, job title, and phone.
Additional Information
When SCIM is enabled, your Identity Provider will sync users and groups to GovAI through SSOReady, GovAI's SCIM provider. The system will periodically pull updates from SSOReady and apply them to your GovAI user and group structure.
For full setup instructions and troubleshooting tips, refer to the configuration guides available in your GovAI SCIM settings panel.
