As a LinkedIn Learning admin, you can enable and set up System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) on your Learning account. The SCIM server option appears on the admin settings page (Me > Authenticate > Automate user management). To sync data across your systems, you can configure and provision your LinkedIn Learning account with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Okta, and OneLogin.
Important to know
Before enabling SCIM, please clean up your user data for existing Learning accounts (if necessary). For more information, please review the Clean up your user list in LinkedIn Learning steps in the Related tasks section below.
SCIM allows you to:
- Keep user attributes synchronized between LinkedIn Learning and Azure AD, Okta, and OneLogin
- Create user profiles and assign/remove user licenses in LinkedIn Learning
- Provision groups and group memberships in LinkedIn Learning
Important to know
When you provision users and groups via SCIM, you can see them in the Admin Center but you must manage licenses in your IdP, which remains the source of truth. Users and groups provisioned via SCIM are clearly labeled "IdP." Regardless of your provisioning method, you must manage permissions in the Admin Center, and IdP‑synced users can be added to manual groups for reporting (if needed).
SCIM automated license management
SCIM automates license management, saving admins time and reducing human error. Once customers complete a one-time setup by integrating with their identity provider (IdP), SCIM syncs user data and enforces access policies, ensuring licenses are created, updated, or revoked automatically when employees join, switch teams, or leave.
What this means for you
- When an employee joins the organization, SCIM automatically assigns the right Sales Navigator or Learning license.
- When an employee switches teams internally, SCIM automatically updates their license.
- When an employee leaves the organization, SCIM automatically revokes their license, freeing their license for another user.
