Automating user provisioning
KACE Cloud allows you to automate the exchange user accounts between different identity domains using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol. You can use this feature to easily pull their user information from any identity provider that supports the SCIM protocol into KACE Cloud. For example, you can easily sync your users from Microsoft Azure AD or Okta. This process quickly pre-populates KACE Cloud with the information from your user database, before those users have a chance to log in to KACE Cloud, in order to configure policies associated with their devices, as needed.
The User Provisioning page enables system administrators to create one or more SCIM configurations and define the required properties used by the associated external provider such as MS Azure AD. The system administrator can also define which user attribute data to import from the SCIM provider by creating mappings between SCIM user schema attributes and KACE Cloud user attributes. Any information synced this way from an identity provider appears as read-only in KACE Cloud, and cannot be modified.
To configure and automate user provisioning, follow the set instructions for your identity provider:
| Azure AD | Okta | |
|---|---|---|
| To configure with KACE Cloud, see: | SCIM: Automate user provisioning with Azure AD | SCIM: Automate user provisioning with Okta |
