Automate Upwork User Provisioning
Without SCIM

Upwork supports SCIM provisioning, but it is gated behind higher-tier enterprise plans. Stepwork automates Upwork provisioning with 98% accuracy — no API required.

Why This Is Painful

Primary: Audit Gaps
  • Shared credentials; Manual onboarding; Manual offboarding

Technical Constraint

Partial SCIM support; gated behind enterprise plan. Complexity Vector: Marketplace model with dynamic employer and contractor roles creates provisioning inconsistencies; Stepwork automates these UI workflows across tiers.

How Stepwork Solves This

Avoid upgrading to Enterprise just for provisioning — Upwork’s SCIM & SSO are gated behind expensive tiers with setup complexity, and Stepwork lets you automate Upwork workflows on your current tier.

How Stepwork Authenticates to Upwork

Upwork supports SAML sign-on. Stepwork authenticates through your existing identity provider — the same way your employees do.
