Use JumpCloud SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give your users convenient but secure access to all their web applications with a single set of credentials. Automatically provision, update and deprovision users and groups in monday.com from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for monday.com. Save time and avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users.
Read this article to learn how to setup the monday.com integration.
Prerequisites
- A JumpCloud administrator account.
- JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO à la carte option.
- A monday.com user account with administrator permissions on an Enterprise plan.
- Your monday.com subdomain name.
Important Considerations
- If you need to update the SCIM token, you must deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the integration.
- The startIndex is 1-based, meaning the first user is user number 1, not number 0.
- Active and userType attributes cannot be changed in a PUT request, but rather by using PATCH only.
- Groups are supported.
Attribute Considerations
- A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.
- The following custom attribute isn’t supported by Jumpcloud and will have a default value set by monday.com:
- userType
Creating a new JumpCloud Application Integration
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
- Click + Add New Application.
- Type the name of the application in the Search field and select it.
- Click Next.
- In the Display Label, type your name for the application. Optionally, you can enter a Description, adjust the User Portal Image and choose to hide or Show in User Portal.
If this is a Bookmark Application, enter your sign-in URL in the Bookmark URL field.
- Optionally, expand Advanced Settings to specify a value for the SSO IdP URL. If no value is entered, it will default to https://sso.jumpcloud.com/saml2/<applicationname>.
The SSO IdP URL is not editable after the application is created. You will have to delete and recreate the connector if you need to edit this field at a later time.
- Click Save Application.
- If successful, click:
- Configure Application and go to the next section
- Close to configure your new application at a later time
Configuring the SSO Integration
To configure JumpCloud
- Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
- Select the SSO tab.
- Replace any instances of YOUR_SUBDOMAIN.monday.com with your subdomain name.
- Add or change any attributes.
- Click save.
Download the certificate
- Find your application in the Configured Applications list and click anywhere in the row to reopen its configuration window.
- Select the SSO tab and click IDP Certificate Valid > Download certificate.
The certificate.pem will download to your local Downloads folder.
To configure monday.com
- Login to your monday.com instance as an administrator.
- Navigate to Admin > Security > Security & Authentication Settings.
- Click Open adjacent to the SAML option and enter the following information:
- SSO Provider – select Custom SAML 2.0.
- SAML SSO Url – enter the JumpCloud IDP URL.
- Identity provider issuer – copy and paste the JumpCloud IdP Entity ID.
- Public certificate – copy and paste the contents of the certificate downloaded in the previous section.
- Click Save Changes.
Authorizing User SSO Access
Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to JumpCloud, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel or from the Groups Configuration panel.
To authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.
- Select the User Groups tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups.
- Select the check box next to the group of users you want to give access.
- Click save.
To learn how to authorize user access from the Groups Configuration panel, see Authorize Users to an SSO Application.
Validating SSO user authentication workflow(s)
IdP-initiated user workflow
- Access the JumpCloud User Console
- Go to Applications and click an application tile to launch it
- JumpCloud asserts the user’s identity to the SP and is authenticated without the user having to log in to the application
SP-initiated user workflow
- Go to the SP application login – generally, there is either a special link or an adaptive username field that detects the user is authenticated through SSO
This varies by SP.
- Login redirects the user to JumpCloud where the user enters their JumpCloud credentials
- After the user is logged in successfully, they are redirected back to the SP and automatically logged in
Using JIT Provisioning
Additional attributes are required to use JIT provisioning. JIT required attributes are prepopulated and are on by default to enable JIT provisioning. You can’t edit the JIT required service provider attributes. You can customize the JumpCloud attribute name and the constant value for JIT required attributes. Toggle off the attributes to opt out of sending the attributes in the SAML assertion
To complete the provisioning process
- Authorize a user’s access to the application in JumpCloud.
- Have the user log in to the application using SSO. The SAML assertion passes from JumpCloud to the service provider, and gives the service provider the information it needs to create the user account.
Configuring the Identity Management Integration
To configure monday.com
- Open up your monday.com account and click on your profile picture in the bottom left corner.
- Navigate to Admin > Security > SCIM.
- Copy the Provisioning URL.
- If it already exists, copy the Provisioning Token. If there is no token, click Generate and then copy it.
The Client ID and Secret (token) may only be shown once. Copy them to a secure location, like the JumpCloud Password Manager, for future reference.
To configure JumpCloud
- Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
- Select the Identity Management tab.
- Select the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application checkbox if you want to provision, manage, and sync groups in monday.com from JumpCloud.
- Click Configure.
- You’re presented with two fields:
- *Base URL: Paste the Provisioning URL you copied when configuring monday.com. (e.g., https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>.monday.com/scim/v2/)
- Token Key: Paste the Provisioning Token you generated/copied when configuring monday.com.
- Click Activate.
- You will receive a confirmation that the Identity Management integration has been successfully verified.
- Click save.
- You can now connect user groups to the application in JumpCloud to provision the members of that group in monday.com. Learn how to Authorize Users to an Application.

Group Management Considerations
Enabling Group Management
You must select the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option to manage groups and group membership in the application from JumpCloud.
Group Provisioning and Syncing
- Empty groups are not created
- JumpCloud takes over management of existing groups in the application when the user group name in JumpCloud matches the name of the group in the application
- All user groups associated with the application in JumpCloud are synced. Syncing occurs whenever there is a membership or group change event
- Group renaming is supported
- If a user group is disassociated from the application in JumpCloud, syncing immediately stops and the group is left as-is in the application. All members of that user group are deactivated in the application unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Group Deletion
- Managed groups deleted in JumpCloud are deleted in the application
- All members of the deleted group are deactivated in the application, unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Disabling Group Management
- You can disable group and group membership management by unchecking the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option
- The managed groups and group membership are left as-is in the application
- JumpCloud stops sending group membership information for the user, but the user’s identity will continue to be managed from JumpCloud
Importing Users
This functionality is helpful if users have already been created in the application but have not been created in JumpCloud.
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
- Search for the application and click to open its configuration panel.
- Select the Identity Management tab.
- Click manual import.
- Select the users you want to create in JumpCloud from the application from the list of users that appear. Users in the list have two import statuses:
- New – user has not been imported
- Imported – user has been imported and has an account in JumpCloud
Tip: Try using the New Users-only filter when selecting users to import. This will move all of your new users to the top of the list, making them easier to identify and select.
- Click import.
- If you are importing less than 100 users, your import results will display in real time and you can continue onboarding your users
- If you have more than 100 users being imported, JumpCloud will send you an email when your import is complete
- You can now connect and grant users access to all their JumpCloud resources. Learn more in the Authorize Users to an Application and Connecting Users to Resources articles.
Warning: Imported users must be members of a user group bound to an application for JumpCloud to manage their identity in, and access to, the application.
