Summary and recommendation
Manhattan Associates, the enterprise supply chain management platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Manhattan Active Platform supports SAML and OpenID Connect for single sign-on authentication, users must still be manually created and managed directly within the Manhattan platform. This creates a significant operational burden for IT teams managing large supply chain operations, where user access needs to scale with seasonal workforce fluctuations, contractor onboarding, and cross-functional project teams that span warehouses, distribution centers, and corporate offices.
The lack of automated provisioning becomes particularly problematic in supply chain environments where rapid user onboarding is critical for operational continuity. When new warehouse staff, seasonal workers, or third-party logistics partners need immediate access to Manhattan's WMS, TMS, or OMS modules, manual account creation creates delays that can directly impact fulfillment operations. SSO alone doesn't solve this problem—it only streamlines login for users who already have accounts, leaving IT teams to manually provision, deprovision, and update user attributes across multiple Manhattan modules as staffing needs change.
The strategic alternative
Manhattan Associates 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 Manhattan Associates accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Manhattan Associates pricing problem
Manhattan Associates gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | Custom ($100K-$500K+ implementation) |

| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |

| Enterprise | Custom ($100K-$500K+ implementation) |
What this means in practice
No automated user lifecycle management: Every user onboarding, role change, and offboarding requires manual intervention in Manhattan's admin UI. For supply chain teams that often have contractors, seasonal workers, and cross-functional access needs, this creates significant administrative overhead.
Complex enterprise implementations: Manhattan's pricing model involves extensive implementation services, with total costs ranging from $100K to $500K+. Adding user management workflows to these already complex deployments increases both timeline and cost.
IdP integration gaps: With no presence in Okta OIN or dedicated Entra integration, IT teams must configure Manhattan as a generic SAML application, losing out on streamlined setup and ongoing support.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Manhattan Associates 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 Manhattan Associates actually offers for identity
SAML/OIDC SSO (Enterprise only)
Manhattan Active Platform supports federated authentication through generic SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect configurations:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect |
| Supported IdPs | Any SAML/OIDC compliant provider (Okta, Entra, etc.) |
| Configuration | Manual setup through Auth Server admin UI |
| User requirement | Accounts must exist in Manhattan Active Platform before SSO login |
| Pricing | Enterprise tier ($100K-$500K+ implementation) |
Critical limitation: Manhattan Associates provides no automated user provisioning. All user accounts must be manually created and managed directly within the Manhattan Active Platform before users can authenticate via SSO.
Identity Provider Integrations
| Provider | SSO Support | Provisioning Support | Integration Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Okta | ❌ No gallery app | ❌ No | Generic SAML/OIDC |
| Microsoft Entra | ✓ Generic setup | ❌ No | Generic SAML/OIDC |
| Google Workspace | ❌ Manual only | ❌ No | Generic SAML/OIDC |
Translation: You get basic SSO authentication if you can navigate the complex Enterprise implementation, but zero automation for user lifecycle management. Every user addition, update, or removal requires manual intervention in the Manhattan system.
What's missing for IT teams
The Enterprise tier delivers supply chain management capabilities, but provides no modern identity management features:
For organizations that need automated user provisioning alongside supply chain management, Manhattan Associates' Enterprise tier offers extensive logistics capabilities while leaving identity management stuck in manual processes.
What IT admins are saying
Manhattan Associates's lack of automated provisioning creates significant overhead for IT teams managing enterprise supply chain operations:
- Manual user creation required in Manhattan Active Platform despite SSO configuration
- No native SCIM support forces teams to maintain dual user databases
- Complex enterprise implementations ($100K-$500K+) don't include basic identity management features
- IT teams must coordinate user lifecycle management across multiple systems manually
Manhattan Active Platform supports SAML and OpenID Connect for authentication but no automatic provisioning. Configuration through Auth Server admin UI.
Users must be managed in Manhattan Active Platform directly
The recurring theme
Despite Manhattan Associates being an enterprise-grade supply chain platform with substantial implementation costs, IT teams are left managing user provisioning manually. When supply chain staff join or leave the organization, administrators must remember to update Manhattan Active Platform separately from their central identity provider.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small supply chain team (<20 users) | Manual management may be acceptable given implementation complexity |
| Stable warehouse operations team | Manual management with SSO for authentication |
| Large distribution network (100+ users) | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for scale |
| Multi-facility operations with frequent staff changes | Use Stitchflow: automation critical for operational continuity |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for audit trail and SOX compliance |
The bottom line
Manhattan Associates is an enterprise-grade supply chain platform with six-figure implementation costs, but it offers no SCIM provisioning whatsoever. For organizations investing $100K-$500K+ in Manhattan Active Platform, manual user management creates unnecessary operational risk and compliance gaps. Stitchflow delivers the automation your investment deserves.
