AWS SCIM Automatic Provisioning and Deprovisioning
AWS SCIM Automatic Provisioning allows to create account in a simplified and automated way to link AWS user's account to their existing or new third party apps. AWS SCIM Provisioning automates user provisioning with their identities across the applications where users need access to. Enable automatic provisioning in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity center for users using Active Directory credentials.
Automated User Provisioning saves time when setting up new users and teams, and also manages access privileges through user lifecycle managemnet. miniOrange can create, read, and update user accounts for new or existing users, remove accounts for deactivated users, and synchronize attributes across multiple user stores.
AWS SCIM User provisioning and deprovisioning actions are bi-directional, so you can create accounts inside an external application and import them into miniOrange, or alternatively create the accounts in miniOrange and then push them out to any linked external applications.
AWS SCIM automatic Deprovisioning means deleting a user and removing their access from multiple applications and network systems at once. Deprovisioning action is triggered when an employee leaves a company or changes roles within the organization. The deprovisioning features increase your organization's security profile by removing access to sensitive applications and content from people who leave your organization.
