Directory Sync

Build frictionless onboarding for entire organizations with real-time provisioning and deprovisioning of users based on changes to your customers' directories.

Introduction

Organizations use directories from providers such as Okta or Workday to easily manage users and enforce their access to organization resources. Directories enable IT admins to activate and deactivate user accounts, create groups that inform access rules, accelerate adoption of new tools, and more. Get seamless user lifecycle management for both you and your customers by keeping your app in sync with the user directory - Directory Sync enables automatic updates for your app whenever there are changes to users, groups, or access rules in the connected directory.

The WorkOS Directory Sync API exclusively uses read-only operations. We will never mutate end-user directories.
