Domain claim

Claiming a domain prevents your members from accidentally creating their own self-service accounts. After you set up single sign-on (SSO), claim your email domain so Make can recognize your new users. Any new user who signs in with your claimed email domain gets a prompt to use SSO. You can provision your new members by:

The DNS record contains an incorrect value.

Review the code you entered with your domain host and correct any errors.

Another organization has verified the domain.

Check that you do not have another organization with a domain claim.

Provisioning new users

Without a claimed domain, you can use the SSO settings to globally assign users to a team that you specify. This provisioning happens when a new user logs in using your identity provider. Make gets information such as email address and user name from your identity provider during login.

After you claim a domain, you can use an API endpoint to create new users and assign them to specific teams.

Create and provision users for Enterprise SSO

You can create a new user in your organization and assign their SSO external ID by calling the POST /users/user-sso-create endpoint. The addUserToDefaultSsoTeams parameter lets you define whether the new user is automatically added to the default team(s) designated in your SSO configuration. If the new user is not assigned to your default team(s), you can assign the new user to any team in your organization by using the API call POST/users/{userId}/user-team-roles/{teamId}.

POST /users/user-sso-create

Required permission: users sso edit

This endpoint creates a new user in your organization and assigns their SSO external ID in one API call. Use the addUserToDefaultSsoTeams parameter to define whether the new user is automatically added to the team(s) designated as default in your SSO configuration. If the new user is not assigned to your default team(s), you need to assign new users to your teams.
