Iden automates Google Search Console without SCIM. Most identity tools rely on SCIM, so they cannot automate Google Search Console and leave it to manual tickets. Iden connects Google Search Console through custom automation and handles provisioning, deprovisioning, and access reviews on any plan, with a full audit trail. This is the non-SCIM coverage SCIM-only tools do not have.

How Iden connects Google Search Console

Google Search Console does not expose SCIM or a usable provisioning API on standard plans, so Iden uses its own custom automation, built and maintained by Iden, to provision, update, suspend, and deprovision users and manage their access in Google Search Console. Your team builds and runs nothing.

Every action is logged to an exportable audit trail for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence.

Automate the full Google Search Console lifecycle

Provisioning is the start. Iden automates the whole lifecycle for this app: joiner, mover, and leaver workflows, access requests that replace manual tickets, permission updates as roles change, and access reviews with the evidence an auditor accepts.

Onboard to Google Search Console on day one

New hires get the right Google Search Console access the moment HR marks them active, mapped to their role. No setup ticket, no waiting on IT.

Keep Google Search Console permissions right as roles change

When someone changes team or title, Iden updates their Google Search Console access and group membership to match, and strips what they no longer need.

Offboard from Google Search Console in seconds

The moment someone becomes a leaver, Iden revokes Google Search Console access and ends their sessions, with a timestamped record for the audit.

Turn Google Search Console access requests into automated approvals

Requests route to the right owner, get approved in chat, and provision in Google Search Console automatically. No manual ticket to work, no copy-paste.

Run Google Search Console access reviews with evidence

Iden pulls who has what in Google Search Console, sends reviewers a one-click certification, and revokes what they reject, with proof for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Grant time-bound Google Search Console access

Give temporary or just-in-time Google Search Console access that expires on its own, so standing privilege never piles up.

Find and clean up orphaned Google Search Console accounts

Iden flags Google Search Console accounts with no matching active employee, including shared and service accounts, so nothing lingers after someone leaves.

Right-size Google Search Console access to least privilege

See who has more Google Search Console access than their role needs, and pull it back to what the job actually requires.

Cut wasted Google Search Console spend and shadow access

Governance is not only provisioning. Iden also helps you cut what you overspend on this app and catch access that never came through IT.

See who actually uses Google Search Console

Where Google Search Console reports last login or activity, through its API or admin console, Iden surfaces it so reviews and license clean-up target the accounts that sit idle.

Catch shadow access in Google Search Console

Iden reconciles every Google Search Console account against your directory to surface local logins, external guests, and accounts created outside your process, the access that never came through IT.

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.

Create usersNew hires are provisioned into the app automatically the moment they join or are assigned a role.

Update attributesProfile, role, and department changes flow through, so the app stays aligned with your HRIS.

Deactivate and reactivateA leaver's access is suspended automatically, and restored just as fast if they return.

Push groups and membershipGroups and their members are pushed and kept in sync, so access follows role, not manual edits.

Attribute and role mappingDirectory attributes map to the app's fields. No CSV uploads, no manual data entry.

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.
