Just-in-time provisioning

Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning creates a Salesforce account for users during their first SSO attempt, so you don't have to do it manually for each user.

To enable JIT provisioning:

  2. Go to your account's Single Sign-On Settings.
  3. Under SAML Single Sign-On Settings, click Edit next to the Zoho One SAML configuration.
  4. Check User Provisioning Enabled and choose Standard.
    5. Note: While Standard JIT Provisioning would satisfy most users' needs, you might want to choose Custom SAML JIT with Apex handler if you need more control over account provisioning.
