G Suite administrators can now automatically provision users to Box Enterprise and Salesforce Sandbox

Last July, we announced that you could automatically provision users for third-party applications like Salesforce, Slack, and Workplace by Facebook. When auto-provisioning is enabled for a supported third-party application, any users created, modified, or deleted in G Suite are automatically added, edited, or deleted in the third-party application. Based on the great feedback from administrators who have used this feature, we’ve decided to add auto-user provisioning support to more applications.

Following this launch, we will add two more supported applications to automated third-party user provisioning: Box Enterprise and Salesforce Sandbox. Customers subscribed to G Suite Business and G Suite Enterprise editions can enable user provisioning in all supported applications. Customers on G Suite Basic can configure auto-provisioning for up to three applications from the supported list. For specific details on how to set up auto-provisioning, check out the Help Center.
