Just-in-time Provisioning for User Accounts

Introduction

The Just-in-time Provisioning solution automates the creation of user accounts in Zivver when users log in using Single Sign-On. This cloud-based solution can eliminate the need for manual account creation in the Webapp or setting up the Synctool for pre-synchronizing accounts from source systems. By leveraging this solution, the deployment can be simplified and adoption of Zivver within your organization can increase.

When a user logs in with Single Sign-On, their Zivver account is automatically created using the information provided by the Single Sign-On application. The user is seamlessly logged into Zivver without any noticeable interruption due to the account creation process.

In addition to using the Webapp or the Synctool for creating functional accounts and managing other account actions, you can also utilize Just-in-time provisioning for user account creation.

Prerequisites

  • Your Zivver organization must use Single Sign-On
  • Your Identity Provider’s SAML response needs to be ammended with a Zivver Domainkey. For Entra ID and ADFS this should work out of the box

Please contact support@zivver.com if you want to use Just-in-time provisioning. Include in your request which Identity Provider (Entra ID, Okta, ADFS) your organization uses. Zivver support can help you configure Just-in-time provisioning.
