Provision any SCIM app with Iden
If your app supports SCIM, Iden provisions it out of the box, the same standard integration every identity provider uses, then adds the governance SCIM alone does not.

SCIM is table stakes. Iden provisions every SCIM-capable app in your stack by default, on par with any identity provider, then covers the apps SCIM cannot reach and adds the governance SCIM alone does not.
How SCIM provisioning works with Iden
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is the industry-standard protocol for automated provisioning. Where an app supports SCIM, Iden connects to its SCIM endpoint with a token and keeps the app in sync with your source of truth in real time, the same standard integration every identity provider uses.
Setup is a one-time connection: turn on SCIM in the app, generate a token, and Iden runs provisioning from then on. SCIM handles the plumbing. Iden adds the governance layer on top: access reviews with evidence, time-bound and just-in-time access, and provable offboarding. Iden supports SCIM by default for every SCIM-capable app. The real question is what happens when an app has no SCIM, or gates it behind an expensive tier, which is exactly what the connector above handles.
When an app has no SCIM, or gates it
Most of the average stack is not on SCIM: apps on standard plans, internal tools, legacy systems. Iden connects those through an API or its custom automation framework on any plan, so coverage does not stop at the SCIM boundary. See the SCIM Tax Index for which vendors gate SCIM, and provisioning non-SCIM apps for how the coverage works.
Frequently asked questions
Does Iden support SCIM?
Yes. Iden supports SCIM by default for every SCIM-capable app, the same standard provisioning integration every identity provider uses. Turn on SCIM in the app, generate a token, and Iden runs provisioning from then on.
Which SCIM apps does Iden support?
Any app that exposes a standard SCIM 2.0 endpoint. Create, update, deactivate, and group sync work the same way across them, so you do not need a per-app integration built first.
What if my app gates SCIM behind an expensive plan?
Many do. That is the SCIM tax. Iden does not depend on it: it connects the app through an API or its custom automation framework on any plan, so you skip the upgrade. See the SCIM Tax Index for per-vendor pricing.
What does Iden add on top of SCIM?
SCIM handles the plumbing: create, update, deactivate, group sync. Iden adds the governance layer: access reviews with evidence, fine-grained and time-bound access, contractor and non-human identity, and provable offboarding.
