Company Settings

Within the Descope console, configure various items around the company from the Company Settings page. Within this page there are 3 tabs for managing company settings, Descopers, and Management keys.

Settings

Within the Settings tab, the following can be configured:

General

  • The Company Name.
  • The Company ID, which is used to identity your Descope company.

Console Access

  • Configure SSO for Descope admins by clicking the Configure SSO button. Once completed, the Descope admins will be able to authenticate to the Descope console using SSO.

Descope Company Settings configure sso

  • Enforce SSO - This will be visible once SSO is configured for the console. Will oblige Decopers to log in through SSO.

Descope Company Settings configure enforce sso

  • Roles - This will be visible once SSO is configured with SAML. Define what roles the Descoper has in which project(s). Choosing "Granular Permissions" will allow assigning specific SSO groups to specific projects, combined with roles. Once it is set, descopers will be granted the roles associated with their SSO group upon SSO login.

Note

You can associate the "Company Admin" with an SSO group that will provide administrative access to all projects and company settings.

Enforce MFA - Will force Descopers to go through MFA, while allowing the Descoper to choose their preferred MFA method from the following options: Passkeys, OTP vis SMS, or TOTP.

SCIM Configuration

Descope allows you to configure SCIM provisioning for your Descope Company. This enables you to manage Descope console access through your identity provider's SCIM provider, rather than relying on JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning. The SSO groups that you map under "Granular Permissions" for your SSO provider also work for SCIM.

  1. Generate a SCIM Bearer token from the Management Keys page with Descoper level access (SCIM) as the role.

SCIM bearer token

  1. Find your SCIM URL in a specific tenant's settings page under Authentication Methods -> SSO -> SCIM Provisioning.

SCIM URL

This is what you can use to configure SCIM in your IdP, along with the Bearer token in Step 2.

Permissions

  • Optionally check the box for Allow Developer Success to access my data for troubleshooting purposes which enables the Descope Customer Success team to capture further information within the project for troubleshooting purposes.

Descopers

Users who have access to your Descope Console are known as Descopers. You can manage these from the Descopers tab in the Console. Here you can create, delete, and manage your Descopers. When creating a new Descoper you can choose whether to send the invitation via email, and can also configure the Descoper role for the user.

Descoper Roles

Descopers can be associated to specific projects, tags, and roles. When inviting a Descoper or editing their roles, you can select Granular permissions instead of Full access and configure the Descoper's roles based on project or tag.

This allows you to grant a Descoper unique access or roles for any project in the company or for any tag associated with a group of projects.

Custom Descoper Roles

In addition to the predefined roles, you can create custom Descoper roles with granular permissions tailored to your organization's needs from the custom roles tab of the Descope console. Custom roles allow you to control Edit or View access to specific console sections.

For example, you can create a role that allows editing flows and widgets but restricts access to user management, or a read-only role that provides visibility across all projects without modification rights.
