Anaplan SCIM

Automate Anaplan account syncs to reflect workforce changes in real time.

Identity provisioningIdentity management

Overview

Anaplan is a cloud-native planning platform that connects data, people, and plans across business functions. Through SCIM, Anaplan supports automated identity operations. Integrating Anaplan SCIM with ADManager Plus enables organizations to synchronize user data between Active Directory (AD) and Anaplan, reducing manual intervention and strengthening access governance.

 

Get user Information from Anaplan

ADManager Plus connects to Anaplan via the SCIM Get Users endpoint to retrieve user records. This allows administrators to audit user presence within Anaplan, compare entries with AD, and maintain consistency across systems.

 

Automatic user provisioning

Any user lifecycle changes in Active Directory—such as new joiners, role changes, or exits—can trigger automated actions in Anaplan through ADManager Plus. The integration supports the creation of new user accounts, updates to existing profiles, and secure deletion of deprovisioned users, ensuring access control policies are enforced with minimal manual effort.

 

Authorization configuration

  • Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to Directory/Application Settings.
  • Go to Application Integrations, then search and select Anaplan.
  • Toggle the Enable Anaplan Integration button on.
  • In the Anaplan Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Perform the steps to generate the API Keys and API Token in Anaplan and enter the API Key in the value field.
  • Replace {anaplan_auth_token} value in all URLs with the values in your instance.
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

Inbound webhook enables you to fetch user data from Anaplan to ADManager Plus. The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration. To configure an inbound webhook for Anaplan:

  • Under Inbound Webhook, click Anaplan Endpoint Configuration.
  • In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, Anaplan GET USERS ENDPOINT, comes pre-configured with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from Anaplan. However, if you would like to use a new endpoint to import users, you can configure one using the + Add API endpoint button and filling in the required fields as per Anaplan's API references. Click here to learn how. Note:
    • The API key value pair is pre-configured as a header for authenticating API requests as configured during Authorization Configuration.
    • Refer to Anaplan's API references and configure additional headers and parameters, if required.
  • Once done, click Test & Save. A response window will display all the requested parameters that can be fetched using the API call. Click Proceed. Note:
    • Refer to Anaplan's API references to know the Parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
    • You can configure multiple endpoints for Anaplan using the + Add API endpoint button. Click here to learn how.
  • Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in Anaplan. [ADManager Plus also lets you customize attribute format from Anaplan]
  • Click + Add New Configuration and perform the following:
    • Enter the Configuration Name and Description and select the Automation Category from the drop-down menu.
    • In the Select Endpoint field, select the desired endpoint and a Primary Key that is unique to a user (e.g., employeeIdentifier). Note: When multiple endpoints are configured, this attribute must hold the same value in all the endpoints.
    • In the Attribute Mapping field, select the attribute from the LDAP Attribute Name drop-down menu and map it with the respective column in Anaplan.
    • If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Add New Format
    • Click Save.
Note: The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration to perform the desired action on the list of users received from the API response.

Outbound webhook configuration

Outbound webhook enables you to update the changes made in AD using ADManager Plus to Anaplan or fetch/forward required details from Anaplan and synchronize them with AD. To configure an outbound webhook for Anaplan:

  • Under Outbound Webhook, click Anaplan Webhook Configuration.
  • Click + Add Webhook.
  • Enter a name and description for this webhook.
  • Decide on the action that has to be performed and refer to Anaplan's API references for the API details, such as the URL, headers, parameters, and other requirements that will be needed.
  • Select the HTTP method that will enable you to perform the desired action on the endpoint from the drop-down menu.
  • Enter the endpoint URL.
  • Configure the Headers, Parameters, and Message Type in the appropriate format based on the API call that you would like to perform.
  • Click Test and Save.
  • A pop-up window will then display a list of AD users and groups to test the configured API call. Select the desired user or group over which this API request has to be tested and click OK. This will make a real-time call to the endpoint URL, and the selected objects will be modified as per the configuration.
  • The webhook response and request details will then be displayed. Verify them for the expected API behavior and click Save.
Note: The webhooks configured in this section can be included in Orchestration Templates, which can be used in event-driven and scheduled automations. They can also be applied directly to desired users to perform a sequence of actions on them (under Management > Advanced Management > Orchestration).
