Dixa SCIM guide

Gladly, the customer service platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Gladly offers SAML 2.0 SSO integration with enterprise identity providers like Okta and Azure AD, this only handles authentication—users must still be manually created in Gladly's admin panel before they can sign in via SSO. Even on Enterprise plans with custom pricing, there's no automated user lifecycle management, meaning IT teams must manually provision and deprovision every customer service agent. This creates a significant operational burden for contact centers, where staff turnover rates are notoriously high and seasonal scaling is common. Without automated provisioning, IT teams face delays onboarding new agents during peak seasons, and security risks from lingering accounts when agents leave. The manual process becomes particularly problematic for organizations running large support teams or multiple contact centers, where dozens of agents may need to be onboarded weekly.

8x8 supports SCIM 2.0 for automated user provisioning, but only on their quote-based X Series plans (previously $24-44/user/month range before they moved to custom pricing). While SCIM can create, update, and deactivate users, it has critical gaps that create ongoing manual overhead: license assignment must be done manually after every user is provisioned, users can't be deleted (only deactivated), and provisioned users don't automatically appear in the Company Directory. For IT teams managing a unified communications platform that typically covers all employees, these limitations defeat much of SCIM's purpose. You're still manually touching every user account to assign licenses and ensure directory visibility. The lack of user deletion support also creates compliance headaches when employees leave - accounts accumulate as "deactivated" rather than being properly removed.

Absorb LMS supports native SCIM provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with SSO as a required paid add-on. Even with SCIM enabled, the implementation has critical limitations: SAML provisioning only creates accounts on first login and never updates existing users, and full user provisioning requires the specific "Absorb 5 - New Learner Experience" version. For organizations managing compliance training across hundreds or thousands of learners, these gaps create ongoing manual work. The SSO-as-add-on model means you're paying extra fees on top of already custom Enterprise pricing ($6-12/user/month base, but varies significantly). For learning management systems handling external partners, contractors, and employees across different access levels, the inability to update existing user attributes through SAML provisioning forces IT teams into manual account management—exactly what automated provisioning should eliminate.
