Native SCIM

How to automate Automox user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Native SCIM requires All tiers (SSO/SAML free) plan

Summary and recommendation

Automox offers native SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on their Enterprise plan with custom pricing. Lower tiers (Pro starting at $1/endpoint/month and Automate Essentials) are limited to JIT provisioning through SAML, which creates users only on first login with default Read Only permissions. This forces manual role adjustments for every new user and creates a gap between when access is granted in your IdP and when users can actually perform their job functions in Automox.

The JIT-only approach on lower tiers creates compliance headaches for IT teams. Users appear "provisioned" in your identity provider but remain non-functional until they log in and administrators manually adjust their permissions. For patch management and endpoint security tools like Automox, this delay can leave critical systems unmanaged while you wait for manual intervention.

The strategic alternative

Stitchflow provides SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation for Automox without requiring the Enterprise tier upgrade. Works with Pro and Automate Essentials plans and any IdP. Flat pricing under $5K/year.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Automox accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Automox pricing problem

Automox gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

Plan Structure

PlanPriceSSOSCIM
ProPatch OS (from $1/endpoint/mo)
BusinessAutomate Essentials (custom)
EnterpriseAutomate Enterprise (custom)

Note: Pro and Business tiers include JIT provisioning via SAML, where users are automatically created on first login but start with Read Only permissions requiring manual role adjustments.

What this means in practice

Since Enterprise pricing is custom and significantly higher than the $1/endpoint Pro tier, organizations face substantial cost increases for SCIM access:

Typical scenarios

Small IT teams (100 endpoints) may see 5-10x cost increases moving from Pro to Enterprise
Mid-market companies often report Enterprise quotes exceeding $10K+ annually
The pricing gap forces many organizations to rely on JIT provisioning instead

JIT provisioning limitations

All new users start as Read Only regardless of group membership
Manual intervention required for every user to assign proper roles
No automated deprovisioning
users remain active until manually removed

Additional constraints

Custom pricing
Enterprise tier requires sales engagement with no published pricing, extending procurement cycles.
Manual role management
Even with SCIM, role assignments may require additional configuration or manual intervention.
Multi-org complexity
Organizations using multiple Automox instances need separate SAML/SCIM configurations for each org.
IDP-initiated requirement
Multi-org setups require IDP-initiated login, limiting flexibility in user experience.

Summary of challenges

  • Automox supports SCIM but only at Unknown tier (Automate Enterprise (custom))
  • Google Workspace users get JIT provisioning only, not full SCIM
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What the upgrade actually includes

Automox doesn't gate SCIM behind expensive tiers. SSO, MFA, and RBAC come free on all plans, but full SCIM provisioning requires Enterprise:

SCIM 2.0 automated provisioning (Enterprise only)
SAML single sign-on (all tiers)
Multi-factor authentication (all tiers)
Role-based access controls (all tiers)
JIT provisioning via SAML (all tiers)
Multi-organization support
SOC 2/SOC 3/TX-RAMP compliance
Enterprise support and SLAs

The catch: provisioned users start as Read Only regardless of tier. You'll manually adjust roles for every new hire. JIT provisioning works but creates the same role assignment overhead. For teams that just want seamless user lifecycle management, you're paying Enterprise prices for features you may not need, while still handling manual role assignments.

What IT admins are saying

Community sentiment on Automox's SCIM implementation reveals a mixed picture. Common frustrations include:

  • SCIM provisioning limited to Enterprise tier only
  • All provisioned users default to Read Only role, requiring manual permission adjustments
  • Multi-org environments require separate SAML configurations for each organization
  • IDP-initiated login mandatory for multi-org provisioning to work properly

Users are provisioned but they come in as Read Only by default. You have to go in and manually change their roles every time, which defeats the purpose of automation.

IT Admin, Reddit

The multi-org setup is painful - you need separate SAML configs for each org and users must use IDP-initiated login or it breaks.

The recurring theme

While Automox offers native SCIM, the implementation creates ongoing manual overhead that undermines the automation benefits IT teams expect.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
On Pro or Business plans, need SCIMUse Stitchflow: avoid the Enterprise tier upgrade
Already on Enterprise with SCIM includedUse native SCIM: you're paying for it
Need Enterprise features beyond SCIMEvaluate Enterprise: SCIM comes bundled
Using Entra ID, comfortable with JIT limitationsNative JIT may suffice: but all users start Read Only
Small team, low turnover, comfortable with manual role assignmentManual provisioning may work: monitor for security gaps

The bottom line

Automox gates SCIM behind their Enterprise tier while offering only JIT provisioning with manual role assignment on other plans. For organizations that need full provisioning automation without the Enterprise upgrade, Stitchflow delivers SCIM-level capabilities at a predictable cost.

AdRoll

Has SCIM
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

AdRoll supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with custom pricing. The implementation requires SAML SSO to be configured first, and setup involves working directly with AdRoll support to obtain bearer tokens and complete the integration. For teams on Pro ($36/month) or Business plans, there's no automated user provisioning available—IT admins must manually manage user accounts and access. This creates a significant operational burden for growing marketing teams. Without automated provisioning, every new hire requires manual account creation, role assignment, and access configuration across AdRoll's advertising campaigns and audiences. When employees leave, IT teams risk leaving orphaned accounts with access to sensitive advertising data and campaign budgets. The gap between affordable plans and Enterprise pricing forces many organizations to choose between manual overhead and potentially expensive upgrades.

Coralogix

Has SCIM
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Coralogix supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning on all paid plans (Business and Enterprise), but requires SSO configuration as a prerequisite. While this seems straightforward, Coralogix's custom pricing model means you'll need to negotiate directly with sales to understand the true cost of SCIM-enabled plans, creating procurement friction for what should be standard identity management functionality. The SSO-first requirement creates an additional deployment dependency that can complicate rollouts, especially in organizations where SCIM provisioning and SSO implementation are managed by different teams or have different timelines. This architectural coupling means you can't implement automated user lifecycle management without first configuring federated authentication, even if your immediate need is just provisioning automation.

Meta Ads

Has SCIM
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Meta Ads supports SCIM 2.0 provisioning through Meta Work Accounts, which is free to access. However, Meta Work Accounts is currently only available to "select customers" - meaning most organizations can't access this functionality despite it being technically free. Even when available, SCIM only works with managed Meta Work Accounts, not personal Facebook profiles, creating a complex dual-account management scenario for many teams. This selective availability creates a significant operational gap. Without automated provisioning, IT teams must manually manage Meta Ads access for marketing teams, often dealing with personal Facebook accounts that can't be centrally controlled. When employees leave, their personal accounts retain access to company ad accounts and sensitive campaign data, creating compliance and security risks that SSO alone can't address.
