What is user provisioning?
SCIM User provisioning is a part of access management that involves creating profiles and assigning apps to your organization’s employees. When you maintain identities in a directory system, IT admins can provide apps to users without manually creating user profiles in each app.
With deprovisioning, employees who are switching teams or leaving the organization can be either reassigned or access can be completely revoked.
A single place for all account actions
Zoho Directory helps you save your admins from the everyday hassle of manually handling access management activities. Perform essential CRUD operations—create, read, update, and delete—from a single space.
User profiles can be created, managed, and extended to third-party applications directly from Zoho Directory.
Manage user profiles across the employee lifecycle
With provisioning, you can set activities to occur at every stage of an employee's lifecycle—like assigning apps when they join, revoking access when they depart, and re-assigning apps during team or role changes.
You can ensure your business manages all apps correctly, makes the right changes, and syncs user data across all of those apps from Zoho Directory.
How does automating provisioning help your business?
Improves security
Automating provisioning helps ensure better data protection, because you provide app access only to those who genuinely need it. Likewise, deprovisioning users properly revokes access to your company's information and improves security.
Provides actionable insights
By using Zoho Directory for your business, IT admins can have a better view of how your employees access resources like apps and devices. You can use this information to make better decisions on how to utilize resources in your organization.
Better onboarding
New recruits respond positively to an improved onboarding experience.
Automating provisioning reduces the load on admins by decreasing the time spent on adding profiles individually and gives recruits day-one access to apps and systems.
