Integrate with Thrive Learning

Give your users convenient but secure Single Sign On (SSO) access to Thrive Learning using their ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú credentials. Automatically provision, update and deprovision users and groups in Thrive Learning from ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and organization (group) management in ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú for Thrive Learning. Save time and avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users and organizations.

Read this article to learn how to configure the Thrive Learning integration.

Prerequisites

  • Thrive Learning administrator account.
  • ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú administrator account.
  • Contact the Thrive Learning Support team and request them to do the following:
    • Enable SAML 2.0 for your account.
    • Provide the ACS URL value.
    • Provide the SP Entity ID (also referred to as Audience URI) value.
    • SCIM bearer token from Thrive Learning support.

Important Considerations

  • Only an SP-initiated SAML flow is supported by Thrive Learning.
  • The Thrive Learning Support team must be sent the metadata file to  complete the configuration in Thrive Learning.
  • SAML SSO is recommended, but not required, to setup the SCIM integration.
  • The Thrive Learning Support team must be sent a list of existing users that will have SAML SSO enabled.
  • All users created after SAML SSO is enabled and all existing users for whom you request to have SAML SSO enabled will not be able to use username/password to sign in.
  • Syncing Manager is not supported.
  • Thrive Learning’s SCIM API is based on version 2.0 of the SCIM standard.
  • Groups are supported.

Group Management Considerations

Enabling Group Management

You must select the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option to manage groups and group membership in the application from ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú.

Group Provisioning and Syncing 
  • Empty groups are not created
  • ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú takes over management of existing groups in the application when the user group name in ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú matches the name of the group in the application
  • All user groups associated with the application in ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú are synced. Syncing occurs whenever there is a membership or group change event
  • Group renaming is supported
  • If a user group is disassociated from the application in ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú, syncing immediately stops and the group is left as-is in the application. All members of that user group are deactivated in the application unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú
Group Deletion
  • Managed groups deleted in ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú are deleted in the application
  • All members of the deleted group are deactivated in the application, unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú
Disabling Group Management
  • You can disable group and group membership management by unchecking the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this applicationÌý´Ç±è³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô
  • The managed groups and group membership are left as-is in the application
  • ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú stops sending group membership information for the user, but the user’s identity will continue to be managed from ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú

Attribute Considerations

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