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

Summary and recommendation

Malwarebytes (ThreatDown) does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan, despite pricing that ranges from $49.99/device/year for Teams up to $595/year for ThreatDown Ultimate bundles. While Malwarebytes offers SAML 2.0 SSO integration with identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, and generic SAML providers, this only handles authentication through just-in-time (JIT) provisioning. Users are automatically created on their first login with roles (ReadOnly, Admin, SuperAdmin) assigned via SAML assertions, but there's no automated lifecycle management for user updates, role changes, or deprovisioning.

This JIT-only approach creates significant gaps in user lifecycle management for IT teams. When employees change roles, move departments, or leave the organization, their Malwarebytes access must be manually updated or removed since there's no automated sync from your identity provider. For security-focused platforms like endpoint protection, this manual process introduces compliance risks and potential security exposure from stale accounts that should have been deprovisioned automatically.

The strategic alternative

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

The Malwarebytes pricing problem

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

What this means in practice

Without SCIM, IT teams must rely entirely on JIT provisioning:

No pre-provisioning
Users don't exist in Malwarebytes until they attempt their first login
Role assignment via SAML
User permissions (ReadOnly, Admin, SuperAdmin) must be configured in your IdP's SAML assertion
No deprovisioning
When employees leave, their Malwarebytes accounts remain active until manually removed
Limited visibility
No way to audit which users have access before they've logged in

Additional constraints

SAML-only authentication
No support for modern OIDC protocols
Manual offboarding required
Departing employees retain access until IT manually removes them
Role management complexity
User permissions managed through SAML attribute mapping rather than direct API calls
No group-based provisioning
Cannot automatically provision users based on security team membership or department changes

Summary of challenges

  • Malwarebytes 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 Malwarebytes actually offers for identity

SAML SSO with JIT Provisioning (Business plans)

Malwarebytes (now ThreatDown) provides SAML 2.0 integration across their Nebula and OneView platforms:

SettingDetails
ProtocolSAML 2.0 only
Supported IdPsAzure AD, Okta, generic SAML providers
User creationJust-In-Time (JIT) provisioning only
Role assignmentVia SAML assertion (ReadOnly, Admin, SuperAdmin)
ConfigurationSP-initiated SSO with metadata exchange

The provisioning reality: Users are automatically created on their first SSO login, with roles determined by SAML assertions from your IdP. While this handles basic user creation, it provides no ongoing lifecycle management.

What's missing entirely

FeatureAvailable?
SCIM provisioning❌ Not documented
User deprovisioning❌ Manual only
Group synchronization❌ No
Attribute updates❌ No
Automated role changes❌ SAML assertion only

Translation: Malwarebytes offers SSO authentication but zero automated user lifecycle management. Once users are created via JIT, all provisioning, deprovisioning, and role changes must be handled manually in the ThreatDown console.

For security platforms where user access changes frequently based on team assignments and security clearances, this creates significant administrative overhead and potential security gaps.

What IT admins are saying

Malwarebytes's lack of SCIM provisioning forces IT teams into manual user management workflows:

  • Users must be created through JIT provisioning on first login only
  • No way to pre-provision users or manage accounts programmatically
  • Role assignments limited to SAML assertion mapping
  • No automated deprovisioning when employees leave

Community feedback on Malwarebytes support forums

Nebula platform supports JIT provisioning - auto-creates users on first login. Roles (ReadOnly, Admin, SuperAdmin) assignable via SAML assertion.

Malwarebytes official documentation

The recurring theme

Security teams are stuck with just-in-time provisioning, meaning users only get created when they first attempt to log in. There's no way to bulk provision users, sync group memberships, or automate deprovisioning - everything happens reactively rather than proactively.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small security team (<10 users)Manual management is acceptable
Stable IT team with infrequent changesManual management with JIT provisioning for convenience
Growing security operations (25+ users)Use Stitchflow: manual endpoint security management doesn't scale
Enterprise with compliance requirementsUse Stitchflow: audit trails essential for security tool access
Multi-location security teamsUse Stitchflow: automated provisioning prevents access gaps

The bottom line

Malwarebytes provides solid endpoint protection but offers only basic JIT provisioning through SAML—no SCIM automation whatsoever. For security teams that need reliable user lifecycle management without the manual overhead of adding/removing users from critical security tools, Stitchflow delivers the automation Malwarebytes lacks.

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.

ActiveCampaign

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.
