Configuring Okta SCIM with Appspace

This article walks through how to configure SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) provisioning between Okta and Appspace. Once set up, users assigned to the Appspace app in Okta will be automatically provisioned, updated, and deactivated in Appspace without manual intervention.
