SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a standardized protocol used to automate user identity management between your identity provider (IdP) and service platforms like Asana. It allows for automatic creation, updating, and removal of user accounts based on your internal directory system. ### Key Benefits: - **Automated user provisioning** to reduce manual onboarding/offboarding. - **Real-time deactivation** of users to enhance security. - **Consistent identity data** across systems. - **Improved operational efficiency** for IT teams managing large or dynamic teams. SCIM is particularly useful in organizations with frequent user changes, strict security protocols, or compliance requirements. --- #### Prerequisites To enable SCIM in Asana, you must have: - An **Enterprise** or **Enterprise+** Asana subscription. - A verified domain associated with your organization in Asana. - **Super Admin** access within your Asana Admin Console. - An identity provider that supports SCIM 2.0, such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), or Google Workspace. --- #### Setting Up SCIM in Asana ### Step 1: Create a SCIM Service Account in Asana 1. Go to the **Admin Console** and select the **Apps** tab. 2. Click **Add Service Account**. 3. Name the service account and add a description. 4. Under **Permission Scopes**, select **Scoped permissions**. 5. Enable these specific scopes: - Users: Read - Users: Create and modify - Teams: Read - Teams: Create and modify 6. Save changes and copy the generated **SCIM token**. You will use this in your identity provider configuration. --- ### Step 2: Configure Your Identity Provider The setup varies slightly depending on your IdP. Below is a general process using Microsoft Entra ID: 1. Log into the Microsoft Entra Admin Center. 2. Navigate to **Enterprise Applications** and select Asana (or create it). 3. Go to the **Provisioning** section and set mode to **Automatic**. 4. Enter the **SCIM endpoint**: `https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/scim` 5. Paste in the SCIM token you copied from Asana. 6. Test the connection to confirm communication between systems. 7. Configure **user and group assignment rules** and **attribute mappings** as needed. 8. Enable provisioning and save your settings. Each identity provider will follow a similar process but refer to your provider’s documentation for specific steps. --- #### Managing Users with SCIM Once SCIM is configured: - **New users** assigned to the Asana app in your IdP will automatically be added to your Asana organization. - **User updates** (e.g., name or department changes) will sync to Asana automatically. - **Deactivated users** in your IdP will be deprovisioned in Asana immediately. - **Groups** can be mapped to Asana teams, streamlining project and permission assignments. --- #### Best Practices - Start with a **small group of test users** to validate the sync before rolling it out organization-wide. - Regularly **audit group-to-team mappings** to ensure users have appropriate access. - Assign multiple **Super Admins** to maintain continuity in access control. - [Cirface FAQs: Pricing, Training, Support, and More](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Pricing & Billing](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#pricing-billing) - [Training & Learning Paths](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#training-learning-paths) - [Support & Post-Implementation Resources](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#support-post-implementation-resources) - [Service Details & Deliverables](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#service-details-deliverables) - [Region & Scheduling](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/cirface-faqs-pricing-training-support-and-more?hsLang=en#region-scheduling) - [Asana License Management](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [License Procurement & Ordering](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#license-procurement-ordering) - [License Onboarding & Account Access](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#license-onboarding-account-access) - [SSO, SCIM, and Security Setup](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#sso-scim-and-security-setup) - [Seat & License Management](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/asana-license-management?hsLang=en#seat-license-management) - [Sales & Demo Resources](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Pre-Call Prep](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#pre-call-prep) - [Product & Services Overview](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#product-services-overview) - [Buyer FAQs & Decision Support](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/sales-demo-resources?hsLang=en#buyer-faqs-decision-support) - [Services Onboarding](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Post-Signature Welcome](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#post-signature-welcome) - [Kickoff Prep & Discovery](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#kickoff-prep-discovery) - [Project Delivery & Engagement](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/services-onboarding?hsLang=en#project-delivery-engagement) - [Enterprise Admin Enablement](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security & Compliance Controls](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#security-compliance-controls) - [Organization Settings & Configuration](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#organization-settings-configuration) - [AI Security & Compliance](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#ai-security-compliance) - [Migration & Upgrades](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/enterprise-admin-enablement?hsLang=en#migration-upgrades) - [Training & Adoption](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/training-adoption?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Executive Visibility](https://help.cirface.com/en/knowledge/training-adoption?hsLang=en#executive-visibility) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.cirface.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cirface/%5BCirface%5D%20Logo%20and%20Branding/Cirface_Blue%20Yellow%20-%201920.png?width=60&height=24&name=Cirface_Blue%20Yellow%20-%201920.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://cirface.com/) [mailto:info@cirface.com](mailto:info@cirface.com) Copyright © 2025, Cirface
