Partner Delegation Deep Dive

Partner Self-Managed Identity

Empower Partners, Shift Operations, Maintain Control

Enable partners and B2B customers to manage their own users, SSO integrations, and authentication experience—while you retain governance oversight and security enforcement.

The Power of Delegation

Let Partners Own Their Identity Operations

Your partners know their users best. Give them the tools to manage user provisioning, SSO configuration, and authentication policies—while your team focuses on platform-wide governance and security strategy.

Delegated User Management

Partners add, update, and remove their own users—no tickets to your support team required.

Self-Service SSO Setup

Partners connect their identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, Ping) through a guided configuration wizard.

SCIM-Based Provisioning

Automatic user sync from partner directories—joiner/mover/leaver events flow in real-time.

Branded Login Experience

Partners customize their login screens with their own logos, colors, and messaging.

Per-Partner Auth Policies

Partners choose MFA methods, session lengths, and password rules within your governance limits.

SCIM 2.0 Integration

Automated User Lifecycle Management

Partners connect their identity provider via SCIM and user provisioning becomes automatic. New hires appear instantly. Departures are revoked in real-time. No manual CSV imports, no stale accounts, no security gaps.

Automated Onboarding

New hires in the partner's directory are automatically provisioned with the right roles and permissions.

Attribute Synchronization

Profile changes—department, title, manager—sync automatically without manual updates.

Instant Deprovisioning

When users leave the partner organization, access is revoked immediately via SCIM push.

Group & Role Sync

SCIM groups map to your application roles, so access permissions stay in sync with the source.
