Marketo SCIM guide

Iterable, the marketing automation platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Iterable offers SAML 2.0 SSO with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning that can create user accounts on first login, this creates a one-way flow that leaves IT teams without automated deprovisioning capabilities. Users who lose access in your identity provider won't be automatically removed from Iterable, requiring manual intervention to verify account status and revoke access within the platform itself. This creates a significant security gap for marketing teams using Iterable. When employees leave or change roles, their Iterable accounts remain active even after IdP access is revoked, potentially allowing continued access to customer data, campaign insights, and marketing automation workflows. For compliance-conscious organizations, this manual deprovisioning requirement creates audit trail gaps and increases the risk of data exposure from dormant accounts.

Pardot (now Marketing Cloud Account Engagement) does not offer direct SCIM provisioning. Instead, it relies entirely on the Salesforce platform's identity management system. While Salesforce does support SCIM at the platform level, this creates a complex dependency where IT teams must manage Pardot users through Salesforce's broader ecosystem. This means you need Salesforce platform access and must navigate Salesforce's SCIM implementation, which can be unnecessarily complex for teams who only need to provision marketing users into Pardot itself. This platform dependency creates significant operational overhead. IT teams must either grant broad Salesforce admin access to manage marketing users, or constantly handle manual provisioning requests through Salesforce. The integration assumes you're already deep in the Salesforce ecosystem with dedicated platform administrators, which isn't always the case for companies using Pardot as a standalone marketing automation tool.

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.
