Directory-backed access for Shopify teams that need real governance

Most apps stop at sign-in and leave authorisation as an afterthought. For teams that already use Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or another SCIM-capable identity system, InventoryIntel can keep Shopify on authentication while your directory governs who gets access, which role they receive and when that access should disappear.

Why it matters

The identity model enterprise buyers already trust

Access reviews are easier when role assignment lives in the directory system the company already uses for the rest of its software.

EXECUTE

One source of truth

Role assignment stays in the directory instead of being recreated manually inside the app.

GOVERN

Cleaner offboarding

Remove the directory access and the InventoryIntel role follows, which reduces manual cleanup.

DETECT

Audit-ready by design

Security teams can review who should have access without chasing a second user list.

How it works

Shopify signs users in, your directory governs authorization

The model is simple: use Shopify for authentication and your identity system for access control. InventoryIntel then enforces the roles your enterprise team has already defined.

PLAN

Microsoft Entra ID

Best when your identity team already manages group-based access in Entra. Map company groups to InventoryIntel roles and keep changes inside the same governance flow you use everywhere else.

EXECUTE

SCIM-capable IdPs

Best when your directory provisions users and roles together. The IdP pushes the access decision, and InventoryIntel applies the role in the product.

GOVERN

What stays human-readable

InventoryIntel still presents roles inside the app, so merchants can see who can do what without needing to touch the directory for every question.

GOVERN

What buyers should expect

Enterprise access should feel boring in the best way: predictable, policy-driven and aligned to the company system of record.

Entra vs SCIM

Two enterprise patterns, one access model

Both paths keep authorization out of ad hoc app admin and inside the identity system your company already trusts.

EXECUTE

Entra-first teams

Use directory groups to govern who gets which InventoryIntel role. This is the most natural fit when group governance already lives in Entra.

GOVERN

Provisioning-first teams

Use SCIM when the identity platform should provision the user and the role together so the directory remains the system of record for both identity and access.

DETECT

The shared outcome

In both cases, the outcome is the same: fewer shared logins, less manual cleanup and a cleaner audit trail for enterprise buyers.
