JIT - JustInTime
The users are created upon their login (via SAML) to the system with their mapped active directory profile fields values.
SCIM - System for Cross-domain Identity Management
SCIM is an on-going automated users' provisioning method, which constantly sends users' profile updates from the customers' application to Qmarkets.
SCIM Creates/updates/blocks customer's users in Qmarkets application.
These updates are sent every ~40 minutes.
The JIT method has a few cons vs. using SCIM:
- Until a user tries to login, the application is not aware of him/her. This means that this user cannot receive any emails from the application, cannot be invited to campaigns, cannot be tagged/mentioned in comments, etc.
- In case any of the user's details have changed in the IDP, until the user re-login to the application, the user's information will not be updated (example: if the user changed department / country, etc.).
- In case a user left the company and no longer in the IDP - they will remain as Active in the Qmarkets application.
