This article provides an overview of the available user provisioning and authentication methods in Comeen Workplace, helping you understand how users are managed and how they securely access the platform.
1. User Provisioning Overview
Comeen Workplace relies on preemptive user provisioning. User accounts must generally be created in advance to enable key features such as notifications.
The following provisioning methods are available:
Synchronization
User accounts can be automatically synchronized from Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID. This is the recommended approach for most organizations, as it ensures users are consistently up to date.
Manual Creation
Administrators can manually create users directly from the Comeen Workplace interface when needed.
API Provisioning
A public API is available to allow customers to integrate their own systems and manage user provisioning programmatically.
2. Authentication Methods
Comeen Workplace supports multiple authentication methods to ensure secure and flexible access. Users must be created in the workspace beforehand to log in via SSO.
Each authentication method can be enabled or disabled in your tenant settings.
Email and Password
Users can authenticate using a local email and password.
SSO via Google
Single Sign-On is available through Google accounts.
SSO via Microsoft
Users can sign in using their Microsoft account credentials.
SSO via Slack
Authentication via Slack is also supported, enabling seamless access for organizations using Slack as a primary tool.
3. SCIM Protocol Considerations
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is an open standard designed for automated user provisioning and synchronization.
Current state
SCIM is currently not available in Comeen Workplace. User synchronization is handled instead through existing methods, such as native integrations with Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID, as well as manual and API-based provisioning.
Future relevance
If this capability is important for your organization, we encourage you to share your needs by submitting a feature request through your Customer Success Manager.
4. Summary
Comeen Workplace provides a structured and robust approach to user management:
Preemptive user provisioning is required for full feature support (e.g. notifications)
Automatic provisioning via Google and Microsoft synchronization
Manual and API-based provisioning options
Multiple authentication methods including SSO (Google, Microsoft, Slack)
Potential future support for SCIM to enhance integration flexibility
This approach ensures consistency across users, reliable feature activation, and seamless integration with enterprise identity systems.
