Databricks SCIM pricing: what it's gated behind, and what it costs
SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions Databricks on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
Databricks gates SCIM provisioning behind its Premium plan (Premium: ~$0.55/DBU), up from Premium: ~$0.55/DBU (all-purpose). Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 1x the per-seat price across every user, or leave Databricks manual. Iden provisions Databricks on any plan, so you skip the SCIM tax entirely and still get provisioning, deprovisioning, and access reviews with a full audit trail.
What the Databricks SCIM tax costs
Databricks gates SCIM to the Premium plan (Premium: ~$0.55/DBU), up from Premium: ~$0.55/DBU (all-purpose), about 1x the per-seat price across every user. With Iden you connect Databricks on any plan instead, so this cost does not apply.
Standard tier retired Oct 2025 on AWS/GCP (Azure by Oct 2026). Premium is now baseline and includes Unity Catalog, RBAC, audit logging, and SCIM. Multiplier collapses to 1.0. Enterprise adds compliance certifications and SLAs but SCIM is already in Premium.

How Iden provisions Databricks on any plan
Iden does not depend on Databricks’s SCIM endpoint. It connects Databricks through the method that works on your plan, an API, OAuth, or Iden’s own custom automation, and runs the full lifecycle: onboarding on day one, permission changes as roles move, access requests that replace manual tickets, access reviews with evidence, and offboarding in seconds. That is the coverage SCIM-only tools cannot match once an app gates or lacks SCIM.
