Prerequisites

Ensure you complete the following tasks before configuring SCIM in NinjaOne. 

• You must first configure Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) between your Identity Provider and NinjaOne. For more information, refer to NinjaOne Identity Access Management (IAM): About IDP-Initiated Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
• Review the user and group assignments in your SSO application. These are the users and groups that SCIM will synchronize into NinjaOne.
• Determine which users in your IDP will be designated as technicians and which will be designated as end users.

Configure SCIM in NinjaOne

To configure SCIM in NinjaOne, perform the following steps: 

1. Log in to NinjaOne as a system administrator.
2. Navigate to Administration → Accounts → Identity Providers. Click Add provider. 

3. Create and entry for your provider of choice. Refer to Login Security: Configure Single Sign-On in NinjaOne  for instructions.
4. Once you create the IDP, open the details page to edit it.
5. Click Enable for the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) widget.

6. Activate the Enable SCIM provisioning toggle switch to enable SCIM.
7. Follow the prompts to copy the data, which you must paste into your IDP's site to authenticate to the endpoint. Copy and store the token in a secure place, as it will only be displayed once.

Your IDP may request an organization ID. To obtain this data, refer to NinjaOne Platform: How to Find an Organization ID.
