Organizations using OpenID Connect (OIDC) can now automate user and group lifecycle management in Hive Console with SCIM 2.0 provisioning.

Connect an identity provider such as Okta or Microsoft Entra ID to provision users, synchronize groups and memberships, and deactivate users when they should no longer have access. Your identity provider remains the source of truth, reducing manual account administration and keeping Hive access aligned with your organization's directory.

Assign Access Through Groups

Synchronized groups can have one or more role mappings in Hive Console. Each mapping combines a Hive role with either every organization resource or a specific selection of projects, targets, services, and app deployments.

A user's permissions are combined from all of their group mappings. This makes it possible to grant broad read access through one group and more focused permissions, such as schema check approval for selected services, through another.

Keep the User Lifecycle in Your Identity Provider

SCIM provisioning supports creating, updating, disabling, and re-enabling users, as well as synchronizing groups and their memberships. Changes made in your identity provider flow into Hive Console, including permission changes caused by updated group memberships.

After validating your setup, you can configure your organization's OIDC provider to require SCIM provisioning. When enabled, only active SCIM-provisioned users can access the organization through OIDC, while organization administrators retain access as a safeguard.

Get Started

Create an organization access token with the Provision users and groups permission, connect your identity provider to Hive's SCIM endpoint, and configure role mappings for your synchronized groups.

The SCIM provisioning documentation includes the complete setup process and step-by-step guides for Okta and Microsoft Entra ID.
