Give your users convenient but secure Single Sign On (SSO) access to Figma using their JumpCloud credentials with the SSO integration. Automatically provision, update and deprovision users and groups in Figma from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to allow users to login with with one set of credentials and to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Figma. Save time and cost related to user account and password management. Avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users and groups.
Read this article to learn how to setup the Figma integration.
Prerequisites
- A Figma Organization or Enterprise plan
- A Figma Organization Admin account
- Single Sign On integration with Figma must be configured before you can create an Identity Management (SCIM) integration
- Review Figma’s Set up automatic provisioning via SCIM support article
Important Considerations
- It is not possible to assign permissions in Figma from JumpCloud. Figma will add provisioned users to your Organization as viewers
- When you have SCIM set up, you can choose which of the advanced attributes you want to access in Figma
- You need to decide if logging in via SAML SSO is mandatory, or if users can still login via email address and password. Learn about Figma authentication options
- The sync will occur in real-time whenever changes are made to users and/or groups in JumpCloud
- JumpCloud cannot take over management of user accounts created directly in Figma There is currently no option for converting these users to JumpCloud SCIM managed users. Those accounts will need to continue to be managed manually or deleted and recreated using the SCIM integration
- Groups are supported
- You can only sync groups with an Enterprise plan
Attribute Considerations
- A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details
Group Management Considerations
Enabling Group Management
You must select the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option to manage groups and group membership in the application from JumpCloud.
Group Provisioning and Syncing
- Empty groups are not created
- JumpCloud takes over management of existing groups in the application when the user group name in JumpCloud matches the name of the group in the application
- All user groups associated with the application in JumpCloud are synced. Syncing occurs whenever there is a membership or group change event
- Group renaming is supported
- If a user group is disassociated from the application in JumpCloud, syncing immediately stops and the group is left as-is in the application. All members of that user group are deactivated in the application unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Group Deletion
- Managed groups deleted in JumpCloud are deleted in the application
- All members of the deleted group are deactivated in the application, unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Disabling Group Management
- You can disable group and group membership management by unchecking the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option
- The managed groups and group membership are left as-is in the application
- JumpCloud stops sending group membership information for the user, but the user’s identity will continue to be managed from JumpCloud
Creating a new JumpCloud Application Integration
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
- Click + Add New Application.
- Type the name of the application in the Search field and select it.
- Click Next.
- Optionally, customize the display label, description and how the application displays:
- Description - add a description that users will see in their user portal
- User Portal Image - choose Logo or Color Indicator
- Show in User Portal - enable this option for this to be visible in the user portal
- Optionally, customize the IdP URL:
- Expand Advanced Settings and enter the name you want to use for the end of the SSO IdP URL, https://sso.jumpcloud.com/saml2/{custom_value}
The SSO IdP URL is not editable after the application is created. You will have to delete and recreate the connector if you need to edit this field at a later time.
- Click Save Application.
- If successful, click:
- Configure Application and go to the next section
- Close to configure your new application at a later time
Configuring the SSO integration
To configure JumpCloud Part 1
- Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
- Select the SSO tab.
- In the field terminating the IdP URL, either leave the default value or enter a plaintext string unique to this connector.
- Note the IdP Entity Id and IdP URL values. You will need these values when configuring Figma.
- Select activate then continue.
- Click Download certificate from the slide out notification.
The certificate.pem file will download to your local Downloads folder.
To configure Figma
Read Figma’s Set up a custom SAML configuration article before you start.
- Open Figma and select Admin settings in the sidebar.
- Select Settings at the top of the screen.
- In the Log in and provisioning section, click SAML SSO.
- Figma will generate the information you need to complete the process with your identity provider. Find this in the Your configuration details are section.
- In the Identity provider section, select Other.
- Enter the details from your identity provider:
- IdP Entity ID
- IdP SSO Target URL (IDP URL)
- Upload your Signing certificate and click Review.
- Check the box to confirm This information is correct... and click Configure SAML SSO.
- Note the The SP Entity ID and SP ACS URL values. You will need these values to complete the configuration in JumpCloud.
To configure JumpCloud Part 2
- Access the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
- Find Figma in the application list on the SSO page and click anywhere in the row to reopen the application configuration panel.
- Select the SSO tab and update the SP Entity ID and ACS URL values with the values you noted in the previous section.
- Click save.
Authorizing User SSO Access
Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to JumpCloud, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Applications, Users List or User Groups page.
To authorize user access from the Application’s page
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.
- Select the User Groups tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups.
- Select the check box next to the desired group of users to which you want to give access.
- Click Save.
To learn how to authorize user access from the Users or User Groups pages, see Authorize Users to an SSO Application.
Validating SSO user authentication workflow(s)
IdP-initiated user workflow
- Access the JumpCloud User Console
- Go to Applications and click an application tile to launch it
- JumpCloud asserts the user's identity to the SP and is authenticated without the user having to log in to the application
SP-initiated user workflow
- Go to the SP application login - generally, there is either a special link or an adaptive username field that detects the user is authenticated through SSO
This varies by SP.
- Login redirects the user to JumpCloud where the user enters their JumpCloud credentials
- After the user is logged in successfully, they are redirected back to the SP and automatically logged in
Configuring the Identity Management Integration
To configure Figma
See Figma’s Set up automatic provisioning via SCIM support article for the most current information.

Attribute Mappings
The Export Attributes Mapping table lists the Required and Optional Mappings that JumpCloud sends to the Service Provider. See Attribute Considerations for more information regarding attribute mapping considerations.
Learn about JumpCloud Properties and how they work with system users in our API.
Modifying User Attributes
It's highly recommended you use all optional mappings. This creates a more complete user profile, enabling better automation and more accurate access management within the application.
To add user attributes
- From your connector’s configuration page, select the Identity Management tab.
- Expand the Export Attribute Mapping section and click Edit. The Optional Mappings table will open.
- Scroll to the bottom of the table and click +Add Attribute.
- Select one of the mapping types:
- Direct Mapping (JSON Path) - send the value from a user attribute in JumpCloud directly to an attribute in the service provider
- From the JumpCloud Attribute dropdown, select the desired attribute
- If you choose “Custom User Attribute” you must type the name of the attribute exactly as it on the user details page. To see the dropdown again, you must delete the attribute and add a new attribute
- From the SCIM Attribute dropdown, select the corresponding (destination) attribute
- From the JumpCloud Attribute dropdown, select the desired attribute
- Expression - transform or combine multiple user attributes into a single, custom value before sending it to the service provider
- Enter the expression in the JumpCloud Attribute field
- From the SCIM Attribute dropdown, select the corresponding (destination) attribute
- Constant - send a fixed, predefined value—like a specific company name —for every user to the service provider
- This is a free text field with no validation, e.g., the attribute must match exactly, including case, to the corresponding attribute in the user record. Once the custom attribute is added, you must delete it and readd a new custom attribute to see the dropdown again.
- Direct Mapping (JSON Path) - send the value from a user attribute in JumpCloud directly to an attribute in the service provider
- Repeat these steps for additional attributes.
- Click Preview Mappings to review the User Schema.
- If you do not select a specific user from the Preview Filter dropdown, the schema will default to the first user.
- Click Update.
Updates to the user schema will not dynamically sync. To force a sync, you must modify the user group’s record in some way, like adding a space to the Description field.
To modify existing user attributes
This new functionality is in Private Preview. Contact your Account Manager to enable it. Your feedback helps us evolve this feature so share your suggestions at the bottom of the article. Learn More
This enhancement gives you complete control over the user attributes sent from JumpCloud to this application. You can now:
- Fully control mappings - define which JumpCloud attribute or source data corresponds to an attribute in the SP's SCIM schema
- Use a variety of source values - map data from the user's standard attributes, Manager field, custom attributes, or other data sources
- Manipulate data with expressions - transform data, such as preferred first names and date format, using expressions before transmission to the SP. Learn more
- Preview changes - review your new mappings to ensure accuracy before you save
- From your connector’s configuration page, select the Identity Management tab.
- Expand the Export Attribute Mapping section and click Edit.
- For the type of attribute you would like to modify:
- Direct - select the new attribute from the dropdown(s)
- Expression - click in the Expression field and make the desired edits. If necessary, select the new attribute from the SCIM Attribute dropdown
- Custom - delete the existing values in either or both of the attribute fields and enter the new values
- Click Preview Mappings to review the updated User Schema.
- Click Update.
Updates to the user schema will not dynamically sync. To force a sync, you must modify the user group’s record in some way, like adding a space to the Description field.
To delete user attributes
- From your connector’s configuration page, select the Identity Management tab.
- In the Export Attribute Mapping section, click Edit. The Optional Mappings table will open.
- Click Delete (
) to remove any optional attributes.
- When finished, click Update.
Attributes that were initially included and populated in the user record and then deleted at a later time will not be modified or removed from the user record.
To restore the default Optional Mappings, click Edit > Restore Defaults > Update.
