Organization provisioning and SSO

Organization access settings connect your identity provider to Atloria. Use SCIM provisioning to synchronize users and their access, or use SAML single sign-on to let members sign in through your identity provider.

If you need to…Go to

Before you start

Both provisioning and SSO are Business-plan features. You also need to be an organization admin to manage either configuration. Have your identity provider's connection details ready before you begin.

PrepareWhat to have ready
AccessAn organization-admin account
PlanA Business plan
SCIM connectionThe identity provider you are connecting and the group names you want to map
SSO connectionThe IdP Entity ID (Issuer), IdP SSO URL (HTTP-Redirect), and IdP signing certificate
SAML attributesThe assertion attribute names or claim URIs for email, name, firstName, lastName, and groups
Domain policyThe email domains that may be provisioned, if you want to restrict provisioning by domain

If you do not have the required plan, the provisioning page shows SCIM provisioning is a Business-plan feature and the SSO page shows SSO is a Business-plan feature. If you are not an organization admin, the pages show the corresponding permission message in Resolve access configuration messages.

Open the organization access settings

Use this procedure to open the surface for the access method you need.

Prerequisites

  • You have an organization-admin account.
  • You know whether you are configuring SCIM provisioning or SAML single sign-on.

Steps

  1. Open the organization settings, then choose the provisioning surface for SCIM provisioning or the SSO surface for SAML single sign-on.

Result: The selected organization access settings surface opens.

Configure SCIM provisioning

Use this surface to connect the provider, create its access token, and map provider groups to Atloria roles.

Prerequisites

  • You have an organization-admin account on a Business plan.
  • You have the identity-provider setup details and the provider group names.

Steps

  1. In Identity provider, choose one option.

    If you are connecting…Choose
    OktaOkta
    Microsoft EntraMicrosoft Entra

    The instructions below Identity provider change to match your choice.

  2. In Token label (e.g. Okta production), enter a label for the token.

  3. Select Generate token.

  4. Select Copy beside the displayed SCIM value, then select I've saved it after you have stored the token in your identity provider.

    The token notice says Copy your SCIM token now. The token is shown for this one-time copy step.

  5. In IdP group name (e.g. atloria-admins), enter the provider group to map.

  6. In role, choose the role to grant to members of that group.

    To grant…Choose
    Viewer accessViewer
    Contributor accessContributor
    Maintainer accessMaintainer
    Administrator accessAdmin
  7. Select Add mapping.

  8. To manage an existing entry, use the applicable action.

    If you need to…Select
    Revoke an active SCIM tokenRevoke
    Remove a group-to-role mappingRemove

Result: The selected provider instructions, token connection details, and group-to-role mapping are shown on the provisioning surface.

Configure SAML single sign-on

Use this surface to import or enter provider metadata, map attributes, set just-in-time provisioning defaults, and save the configuration.

Prerequisites

  • You have an organization-admin account on a Business plan.
  • You have the provider metadata URL or XML, or the values for the manual SSO fields.
  • You have the IdP signing certificate when you are preparing to enable SSO.

Steps

  1. Choose the metadata source you have, then use the matching alternative.

    If you have…Enter it in…Then select…
    A metadata URLImport from IdP metadata — URLParse URL
    Metadata XMLmetadata XMLParse XML
  2. Review the values in IdP Entity ID (Issuer) and IdP SSO URL (HTTP-Redirect).

  3. Enter the provider certificate in IdP signing certificate.

  4. In the Attribute mapping section, enter the assertion attribute name or claim URI for each field.

    FieldValue to enter
    emailThe provider's email attribute or claim URI
    nameThe provider's name attribute or claim URI
    firstNameThe provider's first-name attribute or claim URI
    lastNameThe provider's last-name attribute or claim URI
    groupsThe provider's group attribute or claim URI
  5. To fill a standard mapping, select Okta preset or Entra preset.

  6. In Default role for new users, choose one option.

    New users receive…Choose
    Viewer accessVIEWER
    Contributor accessCONTRIBUTOR
    Maintainer accessMAINTAINER
    Administrator accessADMIN
  7. In Allowed email domains, enter a domain and select Add. Repeat for each domain you want to allow. Select Remove on a domain chip to remove it.

  8. Complete the remaining SSO actions in this order.

    OrderActionCondition
    1Select Test SSO login.Test the identity-provider connection before enabling or enforcing SSO.
    2Select Enable SSO or Disable SSO.Enable SSO is available when the certificate and SSO URL are present; use Disable SSO when SSO is enabled.
    3Select Save configuration.Save the SSO URL, entity ID, attribute mappings, default role, allowed domains, and entered certificate.
    4Select Enforce SSO or Stop enforcing.Select Enforce SSO after a successful test; select Stop enforcing to allow password sign-in again.

Result: The SAML configuration is saved, and the connection status shows the available SSO and enforcement actions.
