Whimsical supports SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) for automated user provisioning on Business and Enterprise plans.

With SCIM provisioning, you can:

• ✅ Automatically add users to your Whimsical workspace
• ✅ Automatically remove users when they leave your organization
• ✅ Update user roles (editor/viewer) based on identity provider settings
• ✅ Import existing Whimsical members into your identity provider for centralized management

Will SCIM remove users immediately if they’re deprovisioned in our IdP?Copied!Link to this section

Yes — when a user is deactivated in your identity provider, Whimsical will automatically remove them from your workspace.

What happens to shared content when a user is removed via SCIM?Copied!Link to this section

Any content the user created in shared folders or projects will remain accessible to collaborators, but the user will no longer appear in your workspace.

Can we sync user roles with SCIM?Copied!Link to this section

Yes — if your identity provider supports it, you can assign viewer/editor roles via SCIM attributes. Reach out to us if you'd like guidance on how to configure role mapping.

What if a user already has a Whimsical account?Copied!Link to this section

SCIM will link to the existing account based on email address. If the user was invited manually before SCIM was enabled, they’ll be automatically managed through SCIM going forward.
