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

Summary and recommendation

Justworks, the PEO and HR platform, does not support SCIM provisioning or enterprise SSO integration on any plan. Currently, Justworks only offers basic OAuth login through Google and Microsoft accounts, with their documentation noting that "SSO foundation" is still in development. This leaves IT teams with no automated way to provision users, manage group memberships, or enforce consistent access policies across their HR infrastructure—particularly problematic given that Justworks often serves as a source system for employee data and organizational structure.

The lack of proper SSO and SCIM integration creates a significant gap in identity governance for organizations using Justworks as their PEO platform. IT teams must manually manage user accounts and cannot enforce centralized access controls or automated offboarding procedures. This is especially concerning for HR platforms that handle sensitive employee data and payroll information, where proper identity lifecycle management is critical for both security and compliance requirements.

The strategic alternative

Stitchflow provides SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation for Justworks without requiring any plan upgrades or custom development work. Works with any IdP (Okta, Entra, Google Workspace, OneLogin) and integrates seamlessly with your existing identity infrastructure. Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of team size.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Justworks accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Justworks pricing problem

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

What this means in practice

No centralized identity management: You can't provision Justworks accounts through your IdP. Every employee needs manual account creation, and there's no way to automatically sync role changes, department moves, or terminations.

Limited SSO options: Only Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 organizations can use federated login. Companies using Okta, OneLogin, or other enterprise IdPs must rely on username/password authentication with mandatory MFA.

HR platform complications: Since Justworks often serves as the HR system of record, the lack of SCIM creates a circular dependency—you can't sync employee data from your IdP to Justworks, but Justworks holds the authoritative employee roster.

Additional constraints

Manual MFA enrollment
Every user must separately configure MFA (SMS, authenticator app, or voice)
No automated deprovisioning
Terminated employees must be manually removed from Justworks
Account lockout risks
No automated account suspension for security incidents
Audit compliance gaps
No centralized access logging or automated compliance reporting

Summary of challenges

  • Justworks 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 Justworks actually offers for identity

OAuth Login (Google/Microsoft only)

Justworks currently supports basic OAuth integration with two providers:

SettingDetails
Supported IdPsGoogle Workspace, Microsoft 365
ProtocolOAuth 2.0
ConfigurationDirect connection to Google/Microsoft accounts
User requirementManual account creation in Justworks required

Critical limitation: This is OAuth login, not enterprise SSO. Users must have existing Google or Microsoft accounts, and IT admins cannot control access through their primary IdP (Okta, OneLogin, etc.).

Multi-Factor Authentication

FeatureDetails
Required forAdmin accounts (mandatory)
MethodsSMS, authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Okta Verify), voice
User coverageAdmin-only requirement

What's missing for enterprise identity management

No SAML SSO with enterprise IdPs like Okta or OneLogin
No SCIM provisioning
(users must be manually created)
No automated deprovisioning
(terminated employees remain in system)
No group-based access control from your IdP
No Just-in-Time provisioning

Future roadmap: Justworks mentions "SSO foundation in development" but provides no timeline or feature details.

Real-world impact: HR teams must manually onboard every employee in Justworks and remember to remove access when they leave. For a platform that's supposed to streamline HR operations, the identity management is entirely manual.

What IT admins are saying

Justworks's limited SSO options create identity management gaps for IT teams:

  • No enterprise SSO integration with major identity providers like Okta or Azure AD
  • Manual user provisioning required across all Justworks modules
  • Only basic Google and Microsoft OAuth login supported
  • MFA management must be handled within Justworks rather than centrally

Login with Google/Microsoft supported. SSO with IdPs in development.

The recurring theme

As a PEO platform that often serves as the HR system of record, Justworks forces IT teams to manage user access manually despite handling critical employee data. The lack of enterprise SSO means admins can't centrally control access to payroll, benefits, and HR functions through their existing identity infrastructure.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small team (<25 employees) on basic payrollManual management is workable given limited SSO
Growing HR team needing audit trailsUse Stitchflow: proper identity governance essential
Multi-location company using Justworks PEOUse Stitchflow: automation critical at scale
Enterprise with compliance requirementsUse Stitchflow: manual provisioning creates audit gaps
Using Justworks as HR system of recordUse Stitchflow: sync from your IdP, not the reverse

The bottom line

Justworks offers solid PEO services but currently lacks enterprise identity management—no SAML SSO or SCIM provisioning, just basic Google/Microsoft login. For organizations that need proper user lifecycle automation and compliance visibility, Stitchflow bridges the gap until Justworks builds their promised SSO foundation.

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.

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.
