Integrate with Stack Overflow for Teams

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

Prerequisites

Important Considerations

  • Stack Overflow for Teams SCIM API is based on version 2.0 of the SCIM standard.
  • If you need to update your token, you must deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the IdM integration.
  • Stack Overflow for Teams does not allow user creation over SCIM and it relies on Just In Time provisioning when a user presents a valid identity assertion.
  • Optionally, JumpCloud can manage userType via SCIM by enabling manage user roles on SCIM Integration settings page, Values accepted are as below:
    • Admin: the user is promoted to an Admin
    • Registered/Any: If set to any other value (such as Registered), the user is demoted from Admin
  • The following opeartions are supported for users:
    • Deactivate/Reactivate a user
    • Optionally promote/demote a user to/from Admin
  • Groups are not supported.

Attribute Considerations

A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.

Creating a new JumpCloud Application Integration

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Navigate to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
  3. Click + Add New Application.
  4. Type the name of the application in the Search field and select it.
  5. Click Next.

Warning:

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.

Configuring the Identity Management Integration

To configure Stack Overflow for Teams

  1. On the Stack Overflow for Teams application, Navigate to Admin Settings -> Access Management -> SCIM integration where you will see three options:
    • Enable SCIM  – Determines whether or not the SCIM 2.0 API is active. This must be selected in the checkbox to enable SCIM 2.0 support.
    • Generate a SCIM authorization bearer token – The shared secret needed to configure an Identity Provider for SCIM 2.0 integration. Treat this as a password. If lost, a new token must be generated and configured in your Identity Provider.
    • Allow SCIM to manage user roles – Determines whether or not the ability to promote/demote users to/from Admin is enabled.
  2. Once these settings are configured, the rest of the work is done at the Identity Provider.

To configure JumpCloud 

  1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
  2. Select the Identity Management tab.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. You are presented with two fields:
    • Base URL: https://stackoverflowteams.com/c/{{YOUR_TENANT_ID}}/auth/scim/v2
    • Token Key: paste the SCIM token you generated in the previous section.
  5. Click activate and then click save.
  6. You will receive a confirmation that the Identity Management integration has been successfully verified.
  7. You can now connect user groups to the application in JumpCloud to provision the members of that group in Stack Overflow for Teams. Learn how to Authorize Users to an Application.
