Configure SCIM with Okta

Postman supports SCIM provisioning through Okta with the Postman Okta app or the SCIM 2.0 test app (Header Auth). These apps enable you to automate user provisioning and de-provisioning for your team.

You must be a Postman Team Admin or Super Admin to enable SCIM for your team. It's recommended that you enable SCIM with a service account assigned the Super Admin role.

With SCIM enabled, users won't have the option to leave your team on their own, and won't be able to change their account email or password. Only Team Admins and Super Admins have permission to remove team members. Only administrators in Okta have permission to use SCIM to change user account emails if they're associated with a domain your team verified.
