If you want one standard choice for SSO, provisioning, and deprovisioning, the usual answer is:

Best default: Microsoft Entra ID or Okta

  • Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) — best if your organization already uses Microsoft 365, Windows, or Intune.
  • Okta — best if you want a strong neutral identity platform across many SaaS apps and environments.

What each covers

  • SSO: via SAML 2.0, OIDC/OAuth, sometimes LDAP for legacy apps
  • Provisioning/deprovisioning: via SCIM for modern apps
  • Deprovisioning: usually automatic through SCIM when a user is disabled/removed in the IdP

Practical recommendation

  • Choose Entra ID if you are a Microsoft shop.
  • Choose Okta if you need broad SaaS integration and vendor-neutral identity.
  • If you’re small/simple, you can also use Google Workspace, but it’s usually less flexible for enterprise lifecycle management.

If you want the shortest answer

Use:

  • SSO: SAML/OIDC
  • Provisioning/deprovisioning: SCIM
  • Platform: Okta or Microsoft Entra ID

If you want, I can also recommend the best option based on your stack (Microsoft, Google, AWS, Salesforce, internal apps, etc.).

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
