See the following instructions to synchronize your Datadog users with Microsoft Entra ID using SCIM.

For capabilities and limitations of this feature, see SCIM.

Prerequisites

SCIM in Datadog is an advanced feature available with the Infrastructure Pro and Infrastructure Enterprise plans.

This documentation assumes your organization manages user identities using an identity provider.

Datadog strongly recommends that you use a service account application key when configuring SCIM to avoid any disruption in access. For further details, see using a service account with SCIM.

When using SAML and SCIM together, Datadog strongly recommends disabling SAML just-in-time (JIT) provisioning to avoid discrepancies in access. Manage user provisioning through SCIM only.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator
  2. Browse to Identity -> Applications -> Enterprise Applications
  3. Click New Application
  4. Type “Datadog” in the search box
  5. Select the Datadog application from the gallery
  6. Optionally, enter a name in the Name text box
  7. Click Create

Note: If you already have Datadog configured with Microsoft Entra ID for SSO, go to Enterprise Applications and select your existing Datadog application.

Configure automatic user provisioning

  1. In the application management screen, select Provisioning in the left panel
  2. In the Provisioning Mode menu, select Automatic
  3. Open Admin Credentials
