Gmail does not currently offer SCIM-based user provisioning. Stepwork automates Gmail provisioning with 98% accuracy — no API required.
No SCIM Support Complexity Vector: Shared links can persist even after a user is deactivated, and APIs don’t reliably surface every active share path. API-driven automation often misses dependencies or sequencing, leading to data loss or lingering access. APIs can manage pieces, but they can’t validate the resulting security posture.
You’re right to be frustrated—without SCIM, Google Workspace can’t reliably automate app-level provisioning and deprovisioning across services like Drive, Gmail, and Groups, forcing admins into manual cleanup. That’s a real platform limitation rather than a configuration issue, and it’s why teams use Stepwork to automate Gmail flows with 98% accuracy without needing an API.
Gmail supports SAML and OIDC sign-on. Stepwork authenticates through your existing identity provider — the same way your employees do.
No. Gmail does not currently offer SCIM-based user provisioning, leaving IT teams to manage user lifecycle changes manually.
Stepwork automates Gmail provisioning through interface automation — the same way a human would, but with 98% accuracy and no API required. Record the flow once, and Stepwork runs it on demand or on a schedule.
Yes. Stepwork authenticates to Gmail through your existing identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, 1Password, etc.) and completes MFA natively — including OTP, passkeys, and push notifications. No separate credentials or service accounts are needed.
The primary risk is manual work. Additional risks include creating permission sprawl, audit gaps, headcount-driven scale. Stepwork eliminates these risks by automating the entire provisioning workflow.
