Identity & directory

Camper’s workforce directory is IdP-sourced and multi-vendor via standards. Your identity provider pushes people into Camper; Camper does not pull the entire org through a proprietary “Okta connector” as the product path.

SCIM-first

Your IdP (Okta, Entra ID, and other SCIM-capable systems) pushes Users and Groups:

SCIM resource	Effect in Camper
Users	Directory identities (email, status, full attribute bag)
Groups	Multi-axis membership (default Teams)
Attributes	Drive org axes when you map them
`roles`	Elevate operators — see Roles

HRIS tools (Rippling and similar) should feed the IdP. Camper does not require a direct HRIS integration for the core path.

Roles → operators or My Access

Every SCIM User is a workforce identity. A small roles value decides whether they operate Camper or only see their own access:

IdP value (`roles`)	Experience
`Admin`	Full operator dashboard
`Viewer` or omitted	My Access

Do not send Owner from the IdP — that role is only for the person who created the workspace. Full catalog: Roles.

Authentication (SSO, email code, passkeys) is separate from provisioning. Prefer SCIM so people and roles exist before first login.

Where to configure what

Surface	Purpose
Settings → Identity Providers	SCIM base URL + bearer token; SSO providers
Settings → Mappings	Axes, attribute maps, placement preview
People	Roster of directory identities and operators
Catalog / Graph	Org units, import, structure views
Connections	Target apps only (Google, Slack, Atlassian, GitHub, Microsoft 365)

Do not treat Okta or Entra as peers of Slack on the Connections page.

Org placement (short)

Default axes: Department (department attribute) and Teams (SCIM Groups).
On User push, Camper suggests units and places people on matching leaves.
Operators import units they want to manage; only then can you link resources.
Add more axes from attributes your IdP already sends — Custom attributes if a field never arrives.

Live preview: Settings → Mappings (sample person) or New axis in the catalog (attributes Camper has actually seen).
