Just-in-Time Provisioning (JIT Provisioning)

Creating a user account in an application automatically on first sign-in using attributes from the IdP's assertion.

Definition

JIT provisioning uses SAML or OIDC attributes to create the account at login, avoiding manual setup. It does not handle deprovisioning when users leave, so it is often paired with SCIM. It is different from just-in-time privileged access.

Example

A new hire's first SSO login to a SaaS tool automatically creates their account with the Sales role.

Exam tip

JIT provisioning creates accounts but doesn't remove them; use SCIM for full lifecycle.
