Integrate with BrowserStack

Automatically provision, update and deprovision users in BrowserStack from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for BrowserStack. 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 BrowserStack integration.

Prerequisites

  • A JumpCloud administrator account.
  • An BrowserStack Enterprise plan.
  • A BrowserStack user account with Owner permissions.
  • An existing Jumpcloud SAML SSO configuration. See SSO using Pre-built Application Connectors to set up SSO.

Important Considerations

  • BrowserStack SCIM API is based on version 2.0 of the SCIM standard.

Attribute Considerations

  • A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.
  • The custom attributes of bstack_role, bstack_product and bstack_team aren’t supported by Jumpcloud and they will have the default values set by BrowserStack.

BrowserStack Custom Attributes

Custom Attribute Name Default Value
bstack_role User
bstack_team Group
bstack_product empty or null value

Importing Users

This functionality is helpful if users have already been created in the application but have not been created in JumpCloud.

  • New – The 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.

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
