Overview
Zuoom’s default provisioning method is Just-In-Time (JIT) and Single Sign-On (SSO). As a result, when a user attempts to log in, they will be automatically set up with a Zoom account based on the SAML mappings you have configured. The good news is that if you do not wish to automatically create Zoom accounts and create users via REST API or CSV when a user signs in to Zoom, you can use pre-provisioning instead.
Your account will send a message to newly created users who do not have an approved domain associated with your account asking them to verify their e-mail address.
Prerequisites
- SSO configured for Zoom account
- Permissions for account owners
Enabling Pre-Provisioning for Your Account
- You will be able to access the Single Sign-On page once you have logged into your Zoom account.
- From the menu, select Edit.
- Select Prior to Sign-In to enable the provision of users.
- Once the changes have been saved, select Save.
Adding Users via REST API
You will be able to access both the SSOCreate API for your account when pre-provisioning is enabled for your account. With the aforementioned API call, users will only be able to sign in via SSO if they are created with this API call. Passwords cannot be created with this API call.
A Personal Vanity URL will be generated for the Licensed user when making an API call to the API server using the user name (no domain) of the email address used for provisioning. If the user name or PMI for your account does not match, the system will generate a random URL/random number for your account.
