Who can use this feature?

  • IT admins with a tenant in an identity provider

  • Business hub Owners

  • Only supported using the Cerby web app

As an IT admin collaborating with a business hub Owner, you can provision users to your external seat-based and paid social apps via your identity provider (IdP), such as Okta or Entra ID, and a business hub.

For this identity lifecycle management functionality to work, Cerby leverages user and group provisioning from the IdP to create and update Cerby teams.

IMPORTANT: You must plan ahead for the roles you want to assign to the teams with shared access to the business hub integration. Remember that the team's roles will be assigned to all team members both in Cerby and in the external app, including assets if supported.


Requirements

The following are the requirements to provision user to your external apps via your IdP and business hub:


Provision users to your apps via your IdP and business hub

To provision users to your external apps via your IdP and business hub, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to the IdP admin console or center of your organization.

  2. Add users or members to the groups assigned to the Cerby app integration. For instructions, read the official documentation of your IdP:

    Given that IdP users and groups are automatically pushed to your Cerby workspace, the new team members also receive shared access to the business hub integration automatically. Therefore, Cerby adds the users to the external app, including assets if supported.

    TIP: You can view the progress of the provisioning tasks in the Automation Log page.

Now you are done.
