SSO + SCIM

Log-ins through SSO. Self-service SCIM. Now, onboarding and offboarding is consistent, error-free, and simultaneous across all apps.

Simplified login with SSO

Frontegg’s Single Sign-On (SSO) lets users log in with the same set of credentials across multiple applications, eliminating the need to remember different usernames and passwords. This solution supports both SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC), offering easy access control and better user experience.

Many apps, one set of credentials

SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) shares identity information with apps across domains. It ensures that user data, roles, and permissions are always up to date across applications, improving security and compliance. With SCIM, you can manage users and groups automatically, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring timely access updates.

Real-time updates and secure access

SCIM provides real-time visibility of user status, roles, and group changes. From quick threat response (such as deactivating flagged accounts) to efficient onboarding and offboarding, SCIM keeps access control tight and secure while streamlining workflows.

Full control over provisioning

Create, update, and delete SCIM connections either from the dashboard or through the API, depending on the amount of customizability you’re looking for.

SSO + SCIM = better together

SSO and SCIM work hand in hand for smooth, secure user experiences. SCIM automates user lifecycle management (provisioning, updates, and de-provisioning), while SSO ensures easy authentication across multiple apps. With SCIM provisioning in place, users can quickly access applications via SSO, and you can enforce consistent access policies across all apps.

Self-service for your users

Let your users manage their own SSO connections and SCIM provisioning settings through the self-service Admin Portal. With Frontegg’s detailed walkthroughs for platforms like Microsoft Entra (Azure) and Okta, users can configure their SSO and SCIM settings with ease.

Flexible permissions and access

Control who can configure SCIM provisioning with flexible permissions.
 You can assign specific roles to users who need access to create, read, or delete provisioning configurations. This helps you ensure that only authorized users can modify these important settings.

“We are excited about the self-service SSO connection now available to our customers through Frontegg. Previously, onboarding a new client and setting up their SSO connection required handling multiple configuration files and extensive client interaction. Now, with Frontegg’s step-by-step instructions for some of our clients’ most commonly used IdPs, clients can complete the process with minimal intervention from us.”

Frequently asked questions

Does Frontegg support advanced enterprise authentication features like Just-In-Time provisioning or SAML role mapping?

Yes. Frontegg includes enterprise-grade features like Just-In-Time (JIT) user provisioning and SAML role mapping right out of the box. This means users can be created automatically when they first log in, and roles can be assigned based on attributes passed from your identity provider without extra manual setup.

These features are especially useful when you’re onboarding large teams or integrating with complex org structures. They reduce the back-and-forth between admins and IT and help everyone get access to what they need faster. Learn more in our SSO setup guide.

How does Frontegg’s SSO handle multiple identity providers across different teams or clients?

Frontegg supports multiple SSO connections at the same time, so each of your customers or internal teams can connect their preferred identity provider. Whether you’re working with Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, or another platform, you can give each tenant its own SSO setup.

This flexibility is key when you’re serving a customer base with different IT environments. Your product stays consistent, while your users get to work with the tools they already trust. Setup and management can all be done through the Admin Portal, without needing dev time.

Can Frontegg’s SCIM integration automatically sync users and groups from my identity provider?

It can. Frontegg’s SCIM integration allows you to automatically sync users and groups from your identity provider to your app. This means user details, role changes, and group memberships stay up to date without relying on manual updates or CSV imports.

It’s especially helpful when you’re working with larger teams or enterprise customers who need precise control over who gets access to what. SCIM handles the provisioning and deprovisioning behind the scenes so your admins don’t have to.

Will Frontegg help us comply with enterprise security requirements using SSO and SCIM?

Yes. Frontegg’s SSO and SCIM features are built to support enterprise-grade security policies, including strict provisioning workflows, enforced SSO, and access auditing. This helps you meet common requirements for standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

More importantly, you get tools that make security easier to implement and maintain. You can align with your customers’ security expectations and pass audits with confidence, without rebuilding your identity stack from scratch.
