You can set up automated user provisioning (autoprovisioning) so that any changes you make to user accounts in Google Workspace are automatically synced with this third-party app.
Automated user provisioning operates only on active, suspended, or deleted users. It doesn't include archived users.
Before you begin
Before you can set up automated user provisioning, you need to set up SSO for Netskope. For the steps, go to Netskope cloud app.
