When setting up SSO (Single Sign-On) with SCIM provisioning, you now have the option to also map custom fields in TalentLMS with attributes from your IdP (Identity Provider). This will populate the custom fields with the value sent by the mapped attribute for each user via SCIM.
Here’s how to set this up:
1. Create custom user fields in TalentLMS. This can be done in Account & Settings > Users > Custom user fields. See more about this here.
2. Navigate to your SSO settings in Account & Settings > Users and expand the SSO (1) option.
Note: You will need to integrate your IdP with SCIM provisioning enabled first. Please see our Okta and EntraID articles if you have not yet done this. For Branch SSO settings, go to Branches Select a branch Single Sign-On. |
3. Go to the Custom fields (2) input, and start typing the name of the custom field. A drop-down will appear with the fields that match your search.
4. Select a custom field (3) to add it to the input. You can add multiple fields. Just search for the field name and select it.
5. Enable the option Enable SCIM v2 custom fields provisioning (4).
6. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
Note: The next step will take place on your Identity Provider. Each IdP has a different way of creating SCIM custom attributes. We recommend that you speak with the support team of your IdP for any assistance you may need with this step. |
7. In your IdP, create a custom SCIM attribute that matches the name of the custom field and add this to the SSO application you have integrated with TalentLMS. The custom attribute should be mapped to a user profile field in the IdP.
Note: The name of this custom attribute must match the existing custom field name exactly. It is case-sensitive. |
8. Ensure that the custom fields in TalentLMS are populated with the data sent by your IdP in the next SCIM sync.
