    Partner Delegation Deep Dive

    Partner Self-Managed Identity

    Empower Partners, Shift Operations, Maintain Control

    Enable partners and B2B customers to manage their own users, SSO integrations, and authentication experience—while you retain governance oversight and security enforcement.

    The Power of Delegation

    Let Partners Own Their Identity Operations

    Your partners know their users best. Give them the tools to manage user provisioning, SSO configuration, and authentication policies—while your team focuses on platform-wide governance and security strategy.

    Delegated User Management

    Partners add, update, and remove their own users—no tickets to your support team required.

    Self-Service SSO Setup

    Partners connect their identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, Ping) through a guided configuration wizard.

    SCIM-Based Provisioning

    Automatic user sync from partner directories—joiner/mover/leaver events flow in real-time.

    Branded Login Experience

    Partners customize their login screens with their own logos, colors, and messaging.

    Per-Partner Auth Policies

    Partners choose MFA methods, session lengths, and password rules within your governance limits.

    SCIM 2.0 Integration

    Automated User Lifecycle Management

    Partners connect their identity provider via SCIM and user provisioning becomes automatic. New hires appear instantly. Departures are revoked in real-time. No manual CSV imports, no stale accounts, no security gaps.

    Automated Onboarding

    New hires in the partner's directory are automatically provisioned with the right roles and permissions.

    Attribute Synchronization

    Profile changes—department, title, manager—sync automatically without manual updates.

    Instant Deprovisioning

    When users leave the partner organization, access is revoked immediately via SCIM push.

    Group & Role Sync

    SCIM groups map to your application roles, so access permissions stay in sync with the source.

    Each Partner, Their Own Login Experience

    Partners configure their own SSO provider, select MFA methods, customize branding, and tailor the authentication flow for their users—all within the security guardrails you define.

    Choose their SSO identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, Ping, OneLogin)
    Select MFA methods: WebAuthn, TOTP, SMS, or push notifications
    Apply their brand: logos, colors, and custom messaging
    Set session policies within your allowed ranges
    Configure password complexity or go fully passwordless
    Strategic Advantages

    Shift Operations, Not Security

    Partner self-management isn't about losing control—it's about focusing your team on what matters while partners handle routine operations.

    Reduced Support Burden

    Partners handle their own user lifecycle—fewer tickets, faster resolution, happier customers.

    Faster Partner Activation

    Self-service onboarding means partners go live in hours, not weeks of back-and-forth.

    Maintained Governance

    Your baseline policies are always enforced—partners can only tighten, never loosen security.

    Add hundreds of partners without proportionally growing your identity operations team.
