JumpCloud unifies clients' technology stack across identity, access, and device management. Deel's JumpCloud integration uses a robust SCIM API infrastructure to sync EOR employees, direct employees, and independent contractors. This keeps user management accurate and up-to-date across both platforms.

With this integration, Deel HR clients can:

Add users to JumpCloud when added in Deel
Deprovision (suspend) users when offboarded in Deel
Sync worker details when updated in Deel

This article explains how clients can set up the JumpCloud integration on Deel for SSO.

Before you begin

To successfully set up the JumpCloud integration, you’ll need:

A user with an admin role on Deel
A user with an admin role on JumpCloud

Step 1. Prepare JumpCloud

You'll need an API Key from JumpCloud to connect the integration.

An API key can't be viewed more than once after being generated, so copy and store it to connect the integration.

To generate an API key from JumpCloud:

1. Click the profile avatar in JumpCloud and select My API Key.

2. From the API Key modal, select an expiration date and click Generate New API Key.

3. Copy the generated API key.

Now that you have an API Key, you can go back to Deel to connect the integration.

Step 2. Connect the integration

1. Go to More > Apps > JumpCloud.

2. Click Connect on JumpCloud.

3. On the JumpCloud modal, enter your API Key and click Connect & go to settings.

The integration is now connected, you can start to configure the integration.

Step 3. Configure the integration

In this section, we’ll guide you through configuring the integration so that data can sync successfully.

After connecting JumpCloud, configuring it consists of:

Field Mapping
User provisioning

Configure the field mapping plugin

This plugin allows users to easily select and sync specific fields between Deel and JumpCloud.

To configure the field mapping plugin:

1. From the JumpCloud integration page, go to the Plugins and settings tab.

2. Click Field Mapping.

3. Customize the user field mapping for JumpCloud.

The Field Mapping plugin is configured. Changes in employee data will be synced from Deel to JumpCloud.

Configure the user provisioning plugin

This plugin automatically creates JumpCloud accounts for new hires and suspends accounts upon termination.

To configure the user provisioning plugin:

1. From the JumpCloud integration page, go to the Plugins and settings tab.

2. Next to the User provisioning plugin, click Enable.

3. Choose the events you want to sync.

The User Provisioning Plugin is configured, new hires will be automatically provisioned in JumpCloud, and terminated accounts will be suspended.

Any HR fields that change on Deel will be synced. For instance, changes to a job title will be updated in JumpCloud after the next sync.

Step 4. Sync data manually (For Deel HR clients only)

Automatic syncs occur daily, one way from Deel to JumpCloud, but you can manually trigger a sync:

If you’ve made important changes and need them to sync immediately
If you notice missing data or errors that suggest that the last sync didn’t complete correctly

To sync data, go to the JumpCloud integration page and click Sync JumpCloud.

Recent changes in employee data will be synced from Deel to JumpCloud.
