Hootsuite SCIM guide

Sprout Social does not offer native SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Enterprise customers get SAML 2.0 SSO with Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning, this only creates user accounts on first login—it doesn't handle ongoing lifecycle management, role assignments, or deprovisioning when employees leave. At $199-$499+ per seat monthly (with Enterprise requiring custom pricing above the $499 Advanced tier), organizations are paying premium rates but still manually managing user accounts in Sprout Social's admin panel. This JIT-only approach creates significant operational gaps for IT teams managing social media access. When marketing team members join, change roles, or leave the company, their Sprout Social permissions must be manually updated or removed. There's no automated way to assign users to specific social media accounts, adjust publishing permissions, or ensure former employees lose access immediately upon termination. For organizations managing multiple social media managers across different brand accounts, this manual overhead becomes substantial, while deactivated employees retain access until manually removed—creating security risks for your organization's social media presence.

Amplitude supports SCIM provisioning, but only on Growth plans (starting around $36K/year) or Enterprise plans with custom pricing. While Amplitude's SCIM implementation covers the core functionality—creating, updating, and deactivating users—it requires SCIM to be specifically enabled for your organization, and regenerating the SCIM key immediately invalidates existing integrations without warning. For product teams on Plus plans ($49/month), upgrading to Growth just to unlock SCIM means jumping from under $600/year to $36,000+/year—a 60x increase. That's often more than the entire analytics budget for smaller product teams. The gap becomes particularly problematic for cross-functional product teams where analysts, PMs, and engineers need varying levels of access to user behavior data, but manual provisioning creates security risks around sensitive analytics permissions.

Bill.com offers inconsistent SCIM provisioning support that varies dramatically by identity provider. While Okta users can access SCIM provisioning through the OIN integration, Bill.com doesn't publish native SCIM documentation, and other IdPs like Entra ID are limited to SAML SSO only. This fragmented approach means your provisioning capabilities depend entirely on your IdP choice rather than Bill.com's platform features. For finance teams managing sensitive AP/AR workflows where user access directly impacts invoice approvals and payment processing, this inconsistency creates operational gaps—especially when onboarding new controllers, AP clerks, or accountants requires manual role assignment tied to spending limits and approval hierarchies. The real problem is that Bill.com gates all SSO functionality behind Enterprise plans with custom pricing (typically 2-3x their Corporate plan at $79/user/month), yet still provides no clear path to automated provisioning for most customers. Since financial systems require precise role-based access controls for SOX compliance and segregation of duties, manual user management creates both security risks and administrative overhead. When employees change departments or leave the company, orphaned accounts in payment systems pose significant financial and compliance risks that manual processes often miss.
