Backblaze SCIM pricing: what it's gated behind, and what it costs
SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions Backblaze on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
Backblaze gates SCIM provisioning behind its Add-on (Enterprise Control) plan (+$24/computer/yr (~$2/comp/mo)), up from Business Backup: $99/computer/yr (~$8.25/comp/mo). Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 1.2x the per-seat price across every user, or leave Backblaze manual. Iden provisions Backblaze 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 Backblaze on any plan
Iden does not depend on Backblaze’s SCIM endpoint. It connects Backblaze 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.
