SSO Access: Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning

When JIT provisioning is enabled, a new user will be granted SSO access during their initial sign in through the JIT provisioning process. During this process:

  1. The system automatically creates a user account.
  2. The user account is added into the designated team.
  3. The user account is set up with the necessary user attributes.

When JIT provisioning is disabled, new users or users who are not assigned to your team will be restricted from signing in through SSO.

In such cases, you must manually invite users to your Autodesk's team account and grant them sign-in access through SSO.

Managing JIT after turning on SSO

To enable or disable JIT after turning on SSO, perform the following steps:

  1. In Autodesk Account, go to User management > By User or By Group.
  2. Select your team from the drop-down list and click the Team Settings ⚙️ icon in the upper right-hand corner.
  3. In the Settings page, go to Single sign-on (SSO) section and click Manage SSO.
  4. In the Single sign-on (SSO) page, select Manage SSO tab and find the connection which the {domainName} domain is linked to and turned on. In the right-hand corner of the list of domains click Edit SSO access.
  5. You can change the access by checking/unchecking the box Allow just-in-time provisioning to give SSO access to new users and click Save Changes.
