This walks through the Self-Service Provisioning flow. Once completed, the Descope admins will be able to authenticate to the Descope console using 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.

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 and roles. When you uncheck the Company Admin checkbox and configure the user's roles based on project. The users will only have access to the projects that you associate them with, and they will only have rights within those projects per the below outline of the roles within Descope at a company level.
