Automatically provision, update and deprovision users and groups in Quip from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Quip. 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 Quip integration.
Prerequisites
- A JumpCloud administrator account.
- JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO add-on feature.
- A Quip user account with administrator permissions on an Enterprise subscription.
- Your Quip domain name.
Important Considerations
- Authorization tokens are only available for Quip Enterprise customers.
- If you need to update your token, you must deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the IdM integration.
- GET /Groups does not support sorting or filtering.
- The PATCH operation is not supported for the /Groups resource.
- The type subfield of a user email cannot be updated at all. The type of every email is work.
- Deletion of the user will deactivate the user in Quip.
- User emails must be unique within each company in the quip system.
- To disable active user sessions, you can call V2 Patch User twice in succession, once to set active to false, and again to set active to true.
- Requests that filter by email will return deactivated users.
- If you want to assign existing disabled account email to a new account, you will need to modify the old account in this way:
- Look for a disabled account with the new email: GET /2/[email protected]
- If the response is not an empty list, get the user ID and use a Patch User request against that ID to replace the disabled user’s email with a unique but harmless value.
Attribute Considerations
- A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.
- For names, the fields givenName, familyName, and formatted are not stored as separate fields. The value of formatted is always the same as givenName, followed by a space, followed by familyName.
- The userName field is set by Quip may not be modified.
- Groups do not support the externalId attribute.
- The following attributes are not supported by JumpCloud:
- roles
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.
- Add or change any attributes.
- Click save.
Download the JumpCloud metadata file
- 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 Export Metadata.
- The JumpCloud-<applicationname>-metadata.xml will be exported to your local Downloads folder.
Metadata can also be downloaded from the Configured Applications list. Search for and select the application in the list and then click Export Metadata in the top right corner of the window.
To configure Quip
- Send an email message to Quip and request that they enable SAML for your organization.
- Attach the JumpCloud-Quip-metadata.xml file you created in the previous section.
- Quip will process your request and notify you when SAML is enabled.
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 generate your Quip API Key
- To get an authorization token, visit {yourcompany}.quip.com/business/admin/scim.
- You’ll need to be an administrator of your company’s Quip site to access this page.
- All requests to the SCIM APIs should include the token in the Authorization header, i.e., Authorization: Bearer {your token}.
To configure JumpCloud
- Create a new application or select it from the the Configured Applications list.
- Select the Identity Management tab.,
- Click Configure.
- You’re presented with two fields:
- Base URL: Paste https://{YOUR_DOMAIN}.quip.com/business/admin/scim.
- Token Key: Paste the Quip API Key generated in the previous section.
- Deselect Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application if you don’t want to provision, manage, and sync groups.
- Click Activate.

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.
