CybSafe supports provisioning for most Identity Providers (IDPs) via the SCIMv2 protocol.

Note: we have a more specific article for Azure customers

⚠️ If you utilise a provisioning integration to manage your people on CybSafe, all user management should be done from your source IdP in your infrastructure.

Any changes made within the CybSafe platform can be reverted when your provisioning sync next runs.


Installation details:

Authentication type: OAuth 2 Bearer Token

Installation steps

  1. Generate a token by visiting Access Management with your administrator account

  2. Copy the SCIM endpoint & token into your Identity Provider

Please note: any other attributes from your SCIM will not sync across. Only the above attributes will be captured by CybSafe. If you have attribute mappings that you wish to be synced across to Group management please ensure they are under Department, Division or Organisation. If you do have additional attributes that you need synced across, you can add them in your user provisioning service.

Additional note- For organisations where the userPrincipalName differs to the full email address please contact CybSafe customer support and confirm your preferred Azure property which contains the full email address.

If you have a mismatch between the full email address and userPrincipalName, users may experience issues with different email accounts or missed emails.

Custom attributes that can be optionally added.

You can verify sync is working by checking the following administration pages:
