Summary: Attempting to govern modern SaaS footprints using traditional identity tools forces enterprise teams to choose between massive custom-engineering backlogs and gaping security blind spots. Integrating Oleria Trustfusion, an AI-native identity security platform, solves this visibility crisis by pairing deep, custom role-mining connectors for critical applications with rapid, automated SCIM-based governance for the long tail.
Most enterprises have 200+ SaaS apps. The top 20 - Salesforce, GitHub, AWS, Workday, ServiceNow - deserve deep custom connectors with full RBAC graphs, scope semantics, and activity logs. The remaining 180 are the long tail: apps adopted by single teams, vendors left over from a consolidation that never happened, tools that came in via acquisition and never got rationalized.
Those 180 apps still represent real access risk. Someone has admin rights in that niche project management tool. A contractor account was never deprovisioned from that acquired company's SaaS. An API key with write access is sitting in an automation platform nobody owns anymore.
Custom connectors for 180 apps are not the answer - the ROI isn't there and the engineering backlog would never clear. SCIM is. It gets you identity inventory, RBAC data, group membership, and the ability to run IGA workflows across the long tail - at the right depth for apps that don't justify more.
Oleria connects to your SaaS stack at two depths, and every app - regardless of connector type - flows into the same identity graph, governance workflows, and IGA programs. This two-tier approach to SaaS identity governance without connector backlog means you get meaningful coverage across 200+ apps without the multi-year engineering investment traditional IGA platforms require.
Okta provisions identities to apps. Oleria governs the identities and RBAC inside the app - running access reviews, flagging over-provisioned accounts, and enforcing deprovisioning. Different jobs, complementary. SCIM is the substrate; what you do with the data afterward is the platform.
SCIM 2.0 exposes users, groups, and group membership. For apps that extend SCIM with entitlement schemas, Oleria pulls those too. What SCIM does not reliably expose is fine-grained permission levels, role inheritance graphs, or activity - that depth requires a custom connector.
Most SCIM implementations have quirks. The connector framework handles common deviations. For very non-standard implementations, the path is a custom connector rather than SCIM.
Yes. Access certifications, access reviews, and deprovisioning workflows run against all connected apps regardless of connector type. The reviewer sees user, group, access level, and last sync timestamp. Depth is labeled so the reviewer knows what they are attesting to.
Yes - read for discovery, write for provisioning where the app supports it. Write actions are opt-in per workflow.
