(Optional) Just In Time Provisioning

You can turn on Just In Time Provisioning to automatically add any employee with your verified domains at their first login attempt.

Before you turn on Just in Time Provisioning, ensure your plan members have already been added to the Dashlane SAML application in your IdP.

After you turn it on, they can install the Dashlane browser extension and create their account.

If your plan is out of seats, members won’t be able to log in until you buy more seats.

If you’re using Just in Time Provisioning along with another automatic provisioning method, like SCIM or AD sync, make sure to add all of your plan members to your synced groups. Otherwise, plan members who aren’t added to synced groups will be removed the next time the directory syncs.
