Summary and recommendation
ConnectWise, the MSP platform suite, does not offer native SCIM provisioning across any of its products (Manage, Control, Automate). While SCIM provisioning is available through Okta's OIN integration on enterprise plans, this creates vendor lock-in and leaves teams using other identity providers like Entra ID or Google Workspace without automated provisioning options. The lack of native SCIM is particularly problematic for MSPs managing multiple ConnectWise products, as each requires separate SSO configurations and manual user management across the entire suite.
This gap creates significant operational overhead for growing MSPs. Without SCIM, IT teams must manually provision and deprovision technicians across multiple ConnectWise products when onboarding new hires or managing role changes. For MSPs with high technician turnover or seasonal staffing, this manual process becomes a compliance risk and productivity drain. SSO alone doesn't solve the problem—it only handles authentication, not the critical user lifecycle management needed for proper access governance.
The strategic alternative
ConnectWise has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages ConnectWise accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The ConnectWise pricing problem
ConnectWise gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual provisioning | All plans | Completely manual user creation/updates/deactivation | |
| Okta SCIM integration | Enterprise + Okta | Limited to Okta customers only, separate configs per product | |
| Native SCIM | ❌ Not available |
Provisioning options
| Method | Availability | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Manual provisioning | All plans | Completely manual user creation/updates/deactivation |
| Okta SCIM integration | Enterprise + Okta | Limited to Okta customers only, separate configs per product |
| Native SCIM | ❌ Not available | Open feature request with no timeline |

What ConnectWise actually offers for identity
SAML SSO (Available on all plans)
ConnectWise supports SAML 2.0 integration across its product suite:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0, OIDC |
| Supported IdPs | Okta, Azure AD, Duo, SecureAuth, generic SAML |
| JIT provisioning | ✓ Yes |
| Multi-product challenge | Each ConnectWise product (Manage, Control, Automate) requires separate SSO configuration |
The reality: While SSO works, managing identity across ConnectWise's sprawling product ecosystem becomes an administrative nightmare without centralized provisioning.
Okta Integration (via OIN)
ConnectWise has multiple Okta Integration Network listings for different products:
| Feature | Supported? |
|---|---|
| SAML SSO | ✓ Yes |
| Create users | ✓ Yes (via SCIM) |
| Update users | ✓ Yes |
| Deactivate users | ✓ Yes |
| Group management | ✓ Yes |
| Multi-product sync | ❌ Requires separate integrations |
The catch: Each ConnectWise product (Manage, Automate, Control) has its own Okta integration. You're managing multiple SCIM connections for what should be a unified platform.
No Native SCIM
ConnectWise does not offer native SCIM endpoints. The company's community forums show SCIM as an open feature request, with users requesting native provisioning capabilities.
Translation: Without Okta, you're stuck with manual user management across multiple ConnectWise products. For MSPs onboarding/offboarding technicians frequently, this creates significant operational overhead.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on ConnectWise's provisioning reveals frustration with the multi-product complexity:
The multi-product architecture means IT teams often discover that configuring SSO for ConnectWise Manage doesn't automatically work for ConnectWise Control or Automate - each requires separate integration work.
- Complex SSO setup across multiple products (Manage, Control, Automate, Home)
- Different authentication configurations needed for each ConnectWise product
- Manual user management despite enterprise-level pricing
- SCIM remains an open feature request with no timeline
"SCIM provisioning" appears as an active feature request in ConnectWise communities, indicating ongoing demand from customers who need automated user lifecycle management.
The recurring theme
For MSPs paying enterprise pricing (~$25/user/month), the lack of unified SCIM provisioning across ConnectWise's product suite creates ongoing administrative overhead that scales poorly as technician teams grow.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small MSP (<10 technicians) | Manual user management with SSO authentication |
| Growing MSP with frequent tech turnover | Use Stitchflow: automation eliminates onboarding delays |
| Multi-product ConnectWise deployment (Manage + Automate + Control) | Use Stitchflow: streamlines complex multi-app provisioning |
| Enterprise MSP (50+ users) with compliance needs | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for audit trail |
| Okta shop willing to accept limited SCIM via OIN | Okta integration works, but expect configuration complexity |
The bottom line
ConnectWise has no native SCIM support and only offers limited provisioning through Okta's marketplace integration. For MSPs running multiple ConnectWise products who need reliable technician onboarding and offboarding automation, Stitchflow eliminates the configuration headaches and provides comprehensive provisioning across the entire ConnectWise suite.
