Common questions.
Does CalSAWS support SCIM?
Identity documentation for CalSAWS is not published, so its SCIM status is listed as Not published.
Can CalSAWS accounts be automated without upgrading?
Yes. StitchOps creates, changes and removes CalSAWS accounts on the plan you already have, triggered by the events your identity provider already sends. It uses an API when one exists and works anywhere a person can log in and act when one does not.
Is CalSAWS in the Okta Integration Network?
No. As of October 20, 2026, the OIN has no listing for CalSAWS. Okta can sign users in only through a custom app if CalSAWS supports SAML or OIDC, and has no connector to manage CalSAWS accounts.
Can Okta deprovision CalSAWS users?
Not through an OIN connector. StitchOps removes CalSAWS accounts the day someone leaves, anywhere a person can log in and act, and saves evidence of each removal.
How do you rotate CalSAWS passwords when someone leaves?
StitchOps logs in to CalSAWS, sets a new password, confirms it took effect, and updates 1Password, Keeper or the StitchOps vault in the same run.
