Summary and recommendation
Mosaic Project Operations, the resource planning and project management platform, does not offer SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Mosaic supports SAML 2.0 SSO integration with Azure AD/Entra ID and can be configured with other identity providers, this only handles authentication—not automated user provisioning or deprovisioning. IT teams must manually create user accounts in Mosaic before SSO can work, and there's no automated way to sync group memberships, role assignments, or handle employee departures.
For project management platforms like Mosaic, this creates significant operational overhead. Project teams frequently change as resources are allocated across different initiatives, meaning IT admins are constantly fielding requests to add contractors, remove team members, or adjust permissions. Without SCIM, every user lifecycle change requires manual intervention in both your identity provider and Mosaic, creating delays that can impact project timelines and leaving departed employees with lingering access to sensitive project data.
The strategic alternative
Mosaic 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 Mosaic accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Mosaic pricing problem
Mosaic gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What this means in practice
Without SCIM provisioning, IT teams must manually manage user accounts in Mosaic even after setting up SAML SSO. For a 100-person organization with mixed user types:
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Mosaic 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 Mosaic actually offers for identity
SAML SSO (Azure AD/Entra ID)
Mosaic provides SAML 2.0 integration with Microsoft Azure AD/Entra ID:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0 |
| Supported IdPs | Azure AD/Entra ID, generic SAML providers |
| Initiation | SP-initiated only |
| Configuration | Domain verification required in Mosaic settings |
| User requirement | Manual provisioning - no automated user creation |
Critical limitation: SAML provides single sign-on authentication only. Users must be manually created in Mosaic before they can authenticate via SSO.
What's missing entirely
| Provisioning Feature | Mosaic Support |
|---|---|
| SCIM protocol | ❌ No |
| Automated user creation | ❌ No |
| User attribute updates | ❌ No |
| User deactivation | ❌ No |
| Group/role mapping | ❌ No |
| JIT provisioning | ❌ No |
Translation: Mosaic offers basic SAML authentication with Azure AD, but zero automation for user lifecycle management. Every user addition, update, or removal requires manual intervention in the Mosaic interface.
For project management platforms where team composition changes frequently, this creates ongoing administrative overhead as project managers join and leave initiatives.
What IT admins are saying
Mosaic's lack of automated provisioning creates operational overhead for IT teams managing project operations platforms:
- Manual user provisioning required - no SCIM support documented
- SSO works but users must be created manually in Mosaic first
- Domain verification steps add complexity to initial setup
- SP-initiated SSO only limits flexibility compared to IdP-initiated flows
SAML 2.0 with Azure AD/Entra ID. Domain verification in Mosaic settings. Security group assignment controls access.
SP-initiated SSO only
The recurring theme
Even with SAML SSO configured through Azure AD, IT teams must manually provision and deprovision users in Mosaic. For project management platforms where team composition changes frequently, this creates ongoing administrative burden that scales poorly with organization growth.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small project teams (<10 users) | Manual management is workable |
| Stable operations team with low turnover | Manual provisioning with SAML SSO for authentication |
| Growing consultancy (25+ users) | Use Stitchflow: automation prevents project delays |
| Enterprise with multiple project portfolios | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for resource planning |
| Agencies with frequent contractor onboarding | Use Stitchflow: automation critical for client project access |
The bottom line
Mosaic Project Operations offers SAML SSO but no documented SCIM provisioning, creating manual overhead for project teams that need rapid user onboarding. For organizations managing multiple projects with changing team compositions, Stitchflow eliminates the bottleneck of manual user management.
