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

Summary and recommendation

Framer, the popular web design and publishing platform, does not offer SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Framer provides SAML 2.0 SSO integration on Enterprise plans, this requires manual activation by Framer Support and only handles authentication. IT teams still need to manually create user accounts, assign project permissions, and manage editor roles across design teams. The lack of automated provisioning creates significant overhead for organizations scaling their design operations or managing multiple project teams.

This gap becomes particularly problematic for design-forward companies where Framer access spans multiple departments—from marketing teams publishing landing pages to product teams prototyping interfaces. Without SCIM, IT admins face the recurring burden of manually provisioning designers, adjusting editor permissions for different projects, and ensuring timely deprovisioning when team members change roles. The manual overhead compounds quickly as creative teams grow and project access requirements shift.

The strategic alternative

Framer 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 Framer accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Framer pricing problem

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

What this means in practice

Without SCIM provisioning, Framer creates significant operational overhead:

Manual onboarding
Each new designer must be individually added through support tickets
No automated deprovisioning
Departing team members require manual account removal
Project access gaps
Team members may wait days for proper workspace permissions
Audit trail issues
No centralized log of who has access to what projects

For design teams using Framer for client work or product development, this creates security and compliance risks when team members can't be quickly provisioned or deprovisioned.

Additional constraints

Support dependency
SAML activation requires contacting support@framer.com
No backup authentication
Once SAML is enabled, it affects all users with no fallback URL
JIT limitations
While JIT provisioning works, it only creates basic accounts without project-specific permissions
Limited IdP support
OneLogin integration not documented
All-or-nothing SAML
Cannot selectively apply SSO to specific user groups

Summary of challenges

  • Framer does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
  • Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What Framer actually offers for identity

SAML SSO (Enterprise plan)

Framer provides SAML 2.0 integration, but with manual activation requirements:

SettingDetails
ProtocolSAML 2.0
Supported IdPsOkta, Azure AD, Google Workspace
ConfigurationMust contact support@framer.com to enable
User requirementJust-in-time (JIT) provisioning supported
PricingEnterprise plan (custom pricing)

Critical limitation: SAML SSO must be manually enabled by Framer Support for each organization. There's no self-service activation, and once enabled, it affects all users in the workspace.

No SCIM provisioning

Framer does not offer SCIM provisioning capabilities:

No automated user provisioning or deprovisioning
No group-based access management
No attribute synchronization
Manual user management required through Framer interface

Okta Integration

The Okta documentation shows limited integration options:

FeatureSupported?
SAML SSO✓ Yes (manual activation)
SCIM provisioning❌ No
Create users❌ No (JIT only)
Update users❌ No
Deactivate users❌ No
Group management❌ No

Translation: You get basic SAML authentication with JIT user creation, but zero automation for user lifecycle management. Every user addition, permission change, or removal requires manual work in Framer.

The Enterprise plan reality

Framer's Enterprise plan focuses on design collaboration features rather than identity management:

Advanced prototyping capabilities
Team libraries and design systems
Custom domains for published sites
Priority support

Bottom line: You're paying Enterprise pricing primarily for design features, not robust identity management. The SAML SSO feels like an afterthought that requires support tickets to activate.

What IT admins are saying

Community sentiment on Framer's provisioning reveals frustration with manual processes and support dependencies:

  • SCIM provisioning is completely unavailable, forcing manual user management
  • SAML SSO requires contacting Framer support to enable - no self-service option
  • No backup login URL when SAML is enabled, creating potential lockout risks
  • All users in the organization are affected when SAML is turned on

SAML must be enabled by Framer Support (support@framer.com)

Framer SSO Configuration Notes

The recurring theme

Design teams using Framer face a complete lack of automated provisioning, with even basic SSO requiring support tickets. IT admins must manually manage every user addition, removal, and permission change while waiting on Framer support for initial setup.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small design team (<10 users) with stable membershipManual management acceptable; use SAML SSO for security
Growing creative team with frequent contractor onboardingUse Stitchflow: manual provisioning becomes unmanageable
Enterprise with multiple design teams and projectsUse Stitchflow: automation essential for project access control
Agency managing client projects with team changesUse Stitchflow: automation critical for client security
Organizations requiring compliance audit trailsUse Stitchflow: automated provisioning provides necessary documentation

The bottom line

Framer offers SAML SSO but no SCIM provisioning, leaving IT teams to manually manage user access to design projects and editor permissions. For organizations with dynamic design teams or strict access controls, Stitchflow eliminates the manual overhead while maintaining the security benefits of automated provisioning.

B2B Revenue Intelligence / ABM

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

6sense, the B2B revenue intelligence platform, has paused SCIM provisioning for new customers until Q4 2026. While existing customers with SCIM enabled can continue using it, new implementations are limited to JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning through SAML SSO. This creates a significant gap for IT teams managing revenue intelligence access, as JIT only creates users on first login and provides minimal attribute mapping (email, first name, last name only). For an enterprise platform with typical pricing of $55,000-$130,000 annually, the absence of automated user lifecycle management is a substantial limitation. The lack of SCIM until Q4 2026 forces IT teams into manual provisioning workflows for a platform handling sensitive revenue data. While SAML SSO handles authentication, it doesn't address user lifecycle events like role changes, department transfers, or offboarding. This creates compliance risks in revenue teams where access to prospect data and sales intelligence must be tightly controlled. The nearly two-year wait for SCIM restoration means organizations implementing 6sense today face manual user management for the foreseeable future.

No SCIM

Marketing Automation / Email

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

ActiveCampaign, the marketing automation platform, does not offer native SCIM provisioning on any plan. While the Enterprise plan ($145+/month) includes SAML 2.0 SSO with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning, this only creates user accounts on first login—there's no automated deprovisioning when employees leave or change roles. New SSO users are automatically added to a generic "SSO Users" group with configurable permissions, but IT teams have no way to programmatically manage user lifecycles or enforce granular access controls based on department or role changes. This creates a significant gap for marketing teams that need to manage access to customer data and campaign tools. When employees leave the company or change departments, their ActiveCampaign access must be manually revoked, creating compliance risks and potential data exposure. The lack of automated deprovisioning means former employees could theoretically retain access to sensitive marketing data and customer information until someone manually removes them from the platform.

Adyen

No SCIM

Payments / Fintech

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Adyen offers SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only through Okta's integration—there's no native SCIM endpoint. This creates a significant vendor lock-in scenario where your provisioning capabilities are entirely dependent on using Okta as your identity provider. Teams using Azure Entra, Google Workspace, or OneLogin are left with manual user management despite Adyen supporting SAML SSO with these platforms. The Okta integration itself requires maintaining a company account (not just a merchant account) and keeping at least one non-SSO admin for troubleshooting, adding operational complexity. For payment platforms handling sensitive financial data, this provisioning gap creates serious compliance risks. Your finance team, payment operations staff, and developers need timely access to process transactions and manage risk controls, but without automated provisioning, you're stuck with manual onboarding that can delay critical payment operations. The requirement to maintain non-SSO admin accounts also creates a security backdoor that compliance auditors will flag.
