SSO & Identity for 50k External Users

3 decision points576 grounded questions
The scenario

A company onboards 50k partner users. They must log in once (corporate IdP) and reach both the Experience Cloud portal and a separate downstream app. Accounts must be provisioned automatically on first login and deactivated when the partnership ends. Design the identity architecture.

Constraints to satisfy
  • Single sign-on from the partner's corporate IdP.
  • Just-in-time provisioning on first login.
  • Salesforce must broker identity to a downstream app.
  • Deactivation must propagate.

Think through your own design first - data model, timing, failure modes. Then walk the decision points and defend each choice against a worked architecture.
