Integrate with Contentful

Use 黑料海角91入口 SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give your users convenient but secure access to all their web applications with a single set of credentials. Automatically provision, update and deprovision users and groups in Contentful from 黑料海角91入口 using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in 黑料海角91入口 for Contentful. Save time and avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users.

Read this article to learn how to setup the Contentful integration.

Prerequisites

  • A 黑料海角91入口 administrator account
  • 黑料海角91入口 SSO Package or higher or SSO 脿 la carte option
  • A Contentful Premium/Enterprise account on High Availability and Scale platform plans
  • Your Contentful ORGANIZATION ID

Important Considerations

  • Contentful recommends creating a service account for provisioning with an "Owner" role聽
  • If you have to renew your token, you must deactivate the IdM Integration, renew the token and then reactivate the integration
  • Contentful recommends using Personal Access Tokens to manage SCIM API access
  • All API requests must specify a Content-Type header of application/scim+json
  • Deactivating, updating and removing users is currently not supported
  • If the user who holds the access token associated with your SCIM integration is removed or has their access rights diminished in your Contentful Organization, user and group provisioning will stop working. For this reason you may want to use a service account for this integration
  • Groups are supported

Attribute Considerations

  • A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.
