SCIM 2.0 explained: a practical guide for SaaS auth - Part 3

Part 3 of the comprehensive guide to SCIM 2.0 evaluates how various authentication providers support SCIM, focusing on both service-provider and identity-provider roles. Clerk, WorkOS, and Auth0 are featured for integrating SCIM into SaaS applications, while Okta and Microsoft Entra ID serve as the identity providers pushing data to these apps. Clerk offers a developer-first platform with Directory Sync included at no additional charge, and WorkOS is distinguished for its extensive directory provider support. Auth0, which is now part of Okta, supports inbound SCIM but is limited to user provisioning without outbound capabilities. Okta and Microsoft Entra ID primarily act as identity providers that push provisioning data to service-provider endpoints. The guide emphasizes the importance of understanding each provider's role and the direction of SCIM support to avoid common evaluation mistakes and notes that providers like WorkOS can offer standalone SCIM solutions without requiring a shift in existing SSO architectures.
