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:
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
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:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0 |
| Supported IdPs | Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace |
| Configuration | Must contact support@framer.com to enable |
| User requirement | Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning supported |
| Pricing | Enterprise 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:
Okta Integration
The Okta documentation shows limited integration options:
| Feature | Supported? |
|---|---|
| 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:
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)
No backup login URL when SAML enabled
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 Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small design team (<10 users) with stable membership | Manual management acceptable; use SAML SSO for security |
| Growing creative team with frequent contractor onboarding | Use Stitchflow: manual provisioning becomes unmanageable |
| Enterprise with multiple design teams and projects | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for project access control |
| Agency managing client projects with team changes | Use Stitchflow: automation critical for client security |
| Organizations requiring compliance audit trails | Use 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.
