API Based Provisioning

Overview

API-based provisioning uses direct integration with a system’s API to manage users.

This method is used when a system requires a custom integration instead of standardized provisioning.

When It Is Used

API provisioning is used for systems that expose APIs for user management.

Example:

• Microsoft Entra ID

How It Works in Fixiam

• Fixiam connects to the system using API credentials
• Users are assigned access through groups
• Fixiam provisions users based on those assignments

Changes made in Fixiam are reflected in the connected system.

What to Expect

• Requires additional configuration (e.g. client ID, client secret)
• Setup is specific to the target system
• Provides flexibility for systems without SCIM support

Important Notes

• Credentials must be generated from the target system (e.g. Entra ID)
• Some systems require additional permissions or admin approval
• Provisioning is triggered by user access, not manual sync
