In order to enable seamless user and permissions management in Venn, Venn offers integrations with third-party Identity Providers (IdPs), including JumpCloud.

If you configure JumpCloud as your Venn Identity Management solution, your users will be created, modified, and deleted in JumpCloud and synced to Venn. Additionally, users' Venn login information will be managed through JumpCloud.

Learn how to manage Venn user access with JumpCloud as your IdP.

Requirements for SCIM Provisioning

In order to successfully sync over users, your JumpCloud user records must include these required fields:

• First Name (firstname in JumpCloud)
• Last Name (lastname in JumpCloud)
• Email (email in JumpCloud)

Additionally, your JumpCloud users' username values must meet the following criteria:

• Length: The string must be between 2 and 40 characters long.
• Allowed characters:
  • Numbers 0-9
  • Uppercase letters A-Z
  • Lowercase letters a-z
  • Hyphen/dash -
  • Underscore _

Any users in JumpCloud that do not meet this criteria will fail to provision.
