Summary and recommendation
Marvel, the design and prototyping platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Marvel offers SAML 2.0 SSO integration on their Enterprise tier through their Admin Console Security settings, this only handles authentication—not user lifecycle management. IT teams must manually create, update, and remove user accounts in Marvel, even when SSO is configured. This creates a significant operational burden for organizations managing design teams across multiple projects and client workspaces.
The gap between authentication and provisioning becomes particularly problematic for design teams that frequently onboard contractors, rotate between projects, or manage access to sensitive client work. Without automated provisioning, IT admins face the tedious process of manually managing user accounts while trying to maintain security compliance. SSO alone doesn't solve the fundamental challenge of keeping Marvel user lists synchronized with your identity provider—expired contractors may retain access to confidential design assets, and new team members experience delays getting access to active projects.
The strategic alternative
Marvel 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 Marvel accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Marvel pricing problem
Marvel gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/month (1 user, 2 projects) | ||
| Pro | $12/month ($16 monthly) | ||
| Team | $42/month (3 users) | ||
| Company | $84/month (6 users) | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |

| Company | $84/month (6 users) | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |
What this means in practice
Without SCIM support, IT teams must manually provision and deprovision every designer, product manager, and UX researcher who needs Marvel access. This creates several operational challenges:
For a 50-person design organization, this translates to roughly 100+ manual provisioning actions per year (new hires, role changes, departures).
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Marvel 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 Marvel actually offers for identity
SAML SSO (Enterprise tier only)
Marvel provides basic SAML 2.0 single sign-on functionality on their Enterprise plan:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0 |
| Supported IdPs | Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin, Google Workspace |
| Configuration | Admin Console Security tab |
| User requirement | Manual account creation required |
Critical limitation: Marvel's SSO implementation provides authentication only. All user accounts must be manually created and managed within Marvel's interface before SSO login is possible.
No Provisioning Automation
Marvel has no documented SCIM support or automated provisioning capabilities:
| Feature | Supported? |
|---|---|
| SCIM provisioning | ❌ No |
| Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning | ❌ No |
| Automated user creation | ❌ No |
| Automated deprovisioning | ❌ No |
| Group/team sync | ❌ No |
| License management | ❌ Manual only |
The Enterprise Reality
Marvel's Enterprise tier includes features like unlimited users, advanced security, and SSO—but design teams typically need only the provisioning automation. The Enterprise package forces you to pay for project management features, advanced analytics, and enterprise support that most IT teams don't require for basic user lifecycle management.
Bottom line: You get authentication but still handle all user provisioning, deprovisioning, and license management manually through Marvel's admin interface.
What IT admins are saying
Marvel's lack of native SCIM support creates ongoing headaches for IT teams managing design tools:
- Manual user provisioning required even with SSO configured
- Enterprise tier pricing barrier just to get basic SSO functionality
- Third-party SSO solutions add complexity and potential failure points
- No automated deprovisioning when team members leave
Marvel has SAML SSO available on Enterprise... Configure via Admin Console Security tab
SSO on Enterprise tier. No native SCIM documented. Third-party SSO integrations available.
The recurring theme
Marvel treats user lifecycle management as an afterthought. Even teams paying for Enterprise must manually add and remove users, turning what should be automated provisioning into a recurring administrative task.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small design team (<10 users) | Manual management is acceptable |
| Stable UX team with low turnover | Manual management with SSO for authentication |
| Large product organization (25+ designers) | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for scale |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for audit trail |
| Multi-team design ops across departments | Use Stitchflow: automation strongly recommended |
The bottom line
Marvel App is a solid design and prototyping platform, but it offers no SCIM provisioning capabilities whatsoever. Even with Enterprise-tier SSO, all user management must be handled manually. For design teams that want provisioning automation without the manual overhead, Stitchflow is the clear solution.
