SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions dbt Labs on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
dbt Labs gates SCIM provisioning behind its Enterprise plan (Enterprise: $300+/u/mo (custom)), up from Team: $100/u/mo. Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 3x the per-seat price across every user, or leave dbt Labs manual. Iden provisions dbt Labs on any plan, so you skip the SCIM tax entirely and still get provisioning, deprovisioning, and access reviews with a full audit trail.

How Iden provisions dbt Labs on any plan
Iden does not depend on dbt Labs’s SCIM endpoint. It connects dbt Labs 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.
