Introduction
Managing user identities and access can be a challenging task, especially as your organisation grows. To simplify this process, Jump Desktop now supports SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) integration. This feature enables seamless synchronisation of user data between your Single Sign-On (SSO) provider and Jump Desktop.
When a user is assigned to the Jump Desktop app via your SSO provider, SCIM automatically pushes their details to Jump Desktop. If Domain Verification is enabled, no verification email is sent; users can directly sign in using SSO. Otherwise, an email will be sent to the user for email verification. Importantly, if a verified user with the pushed email already exists, their account will transition to being managed by the SCIM server.
This article provides a step-by-step guide to integrate SCIM with Jump Desktop, complete with screenshots and detailed instructions. FAQs related to SCIM integration can be found at the end of this guide.

FAQs for SCIM integration
What happens if I disable SCIM integration in Jump Desktop teams dashboard
When SCIM integration is disabled, your SCIM credentials are invalidated and all requests received from your SSO provider will be rejected by the Jump Desktop SCIM server. Users provisioned prior to disabling SCIM will still exist in Jump and their status will be unchanged. If in the future you enable SCIM integration again, your SCIM server will query Jump Desktop using email addresses to see which users exist in Jump Desktop and then the SCIM server will resume managing the accounts it finds.
If you wish to disable all users and disable SCIM integration, you will need to remove all users from the Jump Desktop application in your SSO provider and once the synchronisation between Jump Desktop and your SCIM service is complete, then disable SCIM integration.
